CHURCHILL, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer (1874-1965). Typed letter signed ('Winston S. Churchill') to Sir Joseph Maclay (at the Ministry of Shipping), Ministry of Munitions of War, 11 September 1917, thanking him for suggestions on the use of waste material, 'As you are probably aware we are doing a great deal in the direction of the utilisation of scrap metals', autograph superscription, one page, 4to.
Lloyd George had brought Churchill back into government as Minister of Munitions in July 1917, principally in order to neutralise him as an opposition force, and in the teeth of hot opposition from Bonar Law. He flung himself however into a reorganisation of the department and the quelling of threatening industrial unrest with characteristic energy.
