'Kent - Battle of Britain 1940-1941'
A striking wartime map by Ernest Clegg commemorating Kent's important role in the Battle of Britain, much of which was fought over its skies. Dedicated to Winston Churchill in his capacity as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, it prominently features his iconic quote: “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” The map celebrates the heroism of British airmen and Kent's contribution to the war effort, featuring insets of the White Cliffs of Dover, a Royal Navy battleship, and notes on the Dunkirk evacuation and agricultural production. Produced as part of a series for the Women’s Land Army Benevolent Fund, the map highlights the W.L.A.'s contribution to increasing British wartime food production by over 70%, while detailing Kent's main agricultural products and regions, underscoring the county’s role in sustaining the nation during wartime.
