Sad scenes at Rainbow Corner, the American Red Cross Club in Shaftesbury Avenue
Sad scenes at Rainbow Corner, the American Red Cross Club in Shaftesbury Avenue, which was the main base for US servicemen in London during the Second World War. The front door key was purposefully thrown away when it opened in 1942 so the club could truly claim that, " the door never closes." Sketch shows the famous main lobby being dismantled. When the club closed, a party was thrown for everyone involved in the club and a special address given by Anthony Eden. Date: 1946
