World War II Poster from the UK: Don’t Distract Your Mates

Beautiful poster reminding World War II era workers of the dangers of workplace distraction.

This World War II-era poster designed by Bruce Angrave is a grim reminder of the serious injury or death that could result from inattention in the workplace. Many people’s jobs during the war would have been for the direct benefit to the war effort. Angrave’s image of a black tree, bearing the fruits of prosthetic limbs and a casket would also have served as a stark reminder of the war’s physical toll on British soldiers.
