Fougasse: 'Careless talk costs lives'This exhibition explores the role of the cartoon in wartime propaganda - to sustain civilian morale, encourage army recruitment and strengthen the relationships between Britain and her allies.
Among dozens of dramatic images, mainly drawn from the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College London, are French propaganda images from the Boer War (1899-1901) as well as artwork belonging to Edwin Embleton, who was Studio Manager at the Ministry of Information during the Second World War.
