1940s
The British War Relief Society (BWRS), established in the U.S. during World War II, provided non-military aid to Britain. This organization coordinated donations for food, clothing, and medical supplies. It also engaged in fundraising activities, including the sale of memorabilia and the production of recordings.
The official song of the BWRS was "Thumbs Up!" composed in 1941, embodying the solidarity and support for Britain. The BWRS's efforts were part of a larger movement of American charity towards the UK before the U.S. entered the war, reflecting the widespread desire to aid allies in need.
