Thanks for posting these mac- very interesting. The leave London one I found quite personal. My dad should have been born in SE London like generations before him, but he was born in the country due to the blitz.

You are welcome Hank. Being evacuated might have saved your dad`s life.

How is young Hank these days? I hope that he is well.

Very true mac. His dad stayed and was a firefighter during the blitz. He is doing well thanks mac - cheers for asking. Just a case of sit and wait, and possibly hope technology improves to help with his heart issues.

Re VD: A British soldier who went in on D-Day recounted how he was given condoms as part of his essential "invasion kit". He said something like "I'd been to Africa, I'd invaded Italy, for neither of them were we given condoms, I think that says something about France!!"

I never knew there were so many.
The only 3 I knew of were;

Walls have Ears.
Loose talk costs Lives.
Dig for Victory.

From books btw as, despite some innuendo from you Mac, I wasn't born then. Cool

It is so iconic I thought I would post it for Aka.

Created by Alfred Leete and first appeared as the cover of the weekly magazine London Opinion in 1914.

Arguably, the most famous WWII poster/photo. So good, they made a movie about the guys that raised the Flag.

MR HITLER WANTS TO KNOW!

He wants to know the unit's name Where it's going whence it came Ships,guns and shells all make him curious But silence makes hime simply Fuehrious

Like that very good for the time and the help put the lid on Hitler too.
