Salute John Citizen is a 1942 black and white British drama film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Edward Rigby, Mabel Constanduros and Jimmy Hanley.

In the summer before that explosive September, elderly clerk Mr. Bunting (Edward Rigby) loses his job at the department store where he's worked for over 40 years.

George Bunting is the head of a happy home, with wife Mary (Mabel Constanduros), daughter Julie (Peggy Cummins), and two sons, Chris (Eric Micklewood) and Ernest (Jimmy Hanley).

In the wake of this destruction, his other son, Ernest is converted from pacifism to the war effort.
