WWII Propaganda commissioned by the British Government's Ministry of Information



During World War II often people from many countries saw posters that were trying to get people to join the military or support the military by getting war jobs. But this poster shows a different side. The British Government's Ministry of Information comissioned a series of posters during a time people feared that they would be subjected to gas attacks, heavy bombing raids and even invasion. The King wanted to push an attitude on people rather then erging them to act. He wanted this series of posters to convey that 'all necessary measures to defend the nation were being taken' and to reassure people everything would be okay. This particular series has become well liked through out Britian even now days this poster can be seen framed in shops.
