Bernard_Lewis Posted 18 October , 2013 Share Posted 18 October , 2013 Sorry if this is in the wrong forum: Anyone got any info on the above, please? Especially on the National Shell factory that was located at Swansea. Looking for a few meaty facts for my forthcoming book and wonder if anyone has the history of the Ministry of Munitions and if it mentions Swansea?
