EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative wartime poster from the 1940s serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of careless talk during times of conflict. The image depicts a man in civilian clothing extending a hand in a friendly gesture and wishing an RAF pilot "Good luck tomorrow" as they share a chat in a pub. Unbeknownst to them, their conversation was being overheard by enemy agents. The next day, the pilot and his formation were ambushed, resulting in heavy losses for the RAF. The caption below the image reads "Careless Talk Costs Lives," emphasizing the importance of discretion and the potential danger that comes with idle chatter. The poster is a powerful reminder of the heightened sense of danger and suspicion that existed during World War II, and the importance of guarding sensitive information carefully. This historic photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited collection, offers a glimpse into the past and the sacrifices made during the 2nd World War.
