Women helped during the Great Strike 1926
In Mrs Loefflers canteen at Scotland House. Lady volunteers, including Lady Louis Mountbatten, feeding Special Constables, who had come to Scotland Yard to report, while on duty. In support of a strike by coal miners over the issue of threatened wage cuts, the Trades Union Congress called a General Strike in early May 1926. The strike only involved certain key industrial sectors (docks, electricity, gas, railways) but, in the face of well-organised government emergency measures and lack of real public support, it collapsed after nine days. Date: May 1926
