Annual Reports - 1944
Few statistics are detailed in the truncated Published Report, but comprehensive figures are provided in
the report to the Council (made on D-Day). Total deposits increased over the year from £50.8 million to £59.5 million, thus continuing
the wartime theme of producing a new record increase each year. By March 31st 1944, over £29 million had been contributed by the Bank's
customers to the War Finance Campaign, encouraged by various publicity schemes such as 'Wings for Victory' and 'Salute the
Soldier Week'.
