EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WW2 leaflet, titled "Warship Week, The Signal Is Save," serves as a poignant reminder of the collective spirit and determination that defined the home front during the Second World War. Dated 1942, the leaflet was produced in support of the National Savings Movement and the Warship Week Campaign. The vibrant colors of the poster - blue, red, orange, and black - immediately grab the viewer's attention. The central image features a naval semaphore flag system, with the signal "Save" being transmitted from one warship to another. The use of the semaphore flags adds an element of urgency and importance to the message, emphasizing the need for financial support from the public. The text below the image reads, "In support of the National Savings Movement and the Warship Week Campaign. Your money is wanted now more than ever. Every penny you save or invest in War Bonds will help build a Warship." The call to action was a powerful one, as the British people were encouraged to contribute financially to the war effort in any way they could. The patriotic tone of the leaflet is evident in the use of language such as "Warship Week," "Save," and "Investment." The message was clear: every penny counted, and every investment brought the country one step closer to victory. The use of the navy and warships in the design reinforces the idea that the war was being fought on multiple fronts, both at home and abroad. This WW2 leaflet is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the wartime efforts of the British people and their unwavering commitment to supporting the war effort. The image of the semaphore flags being transmitted between warships serves as a powerful symbol of communication and unity, reminding us of the importance of working together to achieve a common goal.
