In the Spring of 1939 war against Germany was almost inevitable. The British Government’s Ministry of Information commissioned some lovely propaganda posters to celebrate the onset of hostilities with Germany.
Three designs were made, the first; ‘Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution will Bring us Victory’
The second; ‘Freedom is in Peril’
The final ‘Keep Calm Carry on’ poster was never used, being held in reserve for the expected invasion. Only recently has it come to light after a copy turned up in a box of old books bought by Barter Books in Alnwick.
Since then it has found it’s way onto office walls all over the country, so we thought it was our duty to Queen and country to jump on the bandwagon and make a Keep Calm Carry On T shirt, but also take the piss as well.
For a more up to date version in keeping with the current Government’s key message check out our ‘Do not question Authority’ T shirt.
Or on a lighter note our ‘Just Fucking Chill Out’ T shirt.
