World War Two Posters

O

O.C.

Guest
During World War two hundreds of posters came out for information purposes as well as to inform people what was going on and not what to do as well as advertise for Workers etc
I am trying to stick to British Posters only in this section
 
A poster they used on the railways "Is your journey really necessary

Don't do it and careless talk
The last poster is intresting because Cadbury switched over to War production in WW2 as a shadow factory which made munitions
 
Not all the posters that you have just seen where small handbills, most of them appeared on advertising boards. in this photo above a shop in High St. Harbourne 1941 you can see an RAF pilot and the words "You can help build me a plane"
 
Brilliant collection, crommie... keep 'em coming. O0 But be careful cos "The walls have ears". ::)
 
Now that one was the next one coming, So keep mum,careless talk costs lives
