Description

British Second World War poster designed by artist Carl Giles. The poster depicts travelers in a train carriage in a rail yard blocked in from all sides by wagons carrying supplies. The text from which the poster gets its title refers to the message being told to these passengers by a railway worker who is working in one of the nearby wagons. This text is featured in the lower quarter of the poster.
