100 eye-catching posters, with 62 perforated and detachable, which contain stirring messages that once exhorted citizens to do their bit for the war effort such as Beer: A Necessity to the Strength of Britain, or The Supreme Test of British Womanhood.
Now mostly forgotten, today they seem charmingly innocent, quintessentially British, and often very funny. Like the much-loved Keep Calm and Carry On poster, these proclamations are just what we need to keep a stiff upper lip and a sense of humour in our own troubled times.
