World War Two poster
Musselburgh people were invited to a lecture on THE PEOPLE AND SYSTEMS WE ARE FIGHTING. It was held in October 1942, in the Hayweights Cinema, and was one of a series.
This is a cream paper poster with green printed text advertising NAOMI JACOB speaking, with the aid of films, on Britain’s wartime enemies at the HAYWEIGHTS CINEMA, organised by the Musselburgh Committee of the Ministry of Information. Note the event was free. Printed by AC Gordon, Musselburgh.
During the height of World War II, local committees in Scottish towns brought speakers to public venues to spread positive information about Britain’s war effort and to educate the public about Britain’s allies and the enemy’s atrocities.
