Don't Waver, Help Wavell
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative wartime poster from 1940, calling on citizens to participate in War Savings Week and contribute to the war effort. The poster, published by The National Savings Committee in London, The Scottish Savings Committee in Edinburgh, and The Ulster Savings Committee in Belfast, features a striking image of Vickers medium tanks in the desert, with the caption "End War Weapons Week, 17-24 May 1940." The poster's design is simple yet impactful, with bold blue, white, and orange colors dominating the image. At the center, the image of the tanks in the desert is flanked by the words "Don't Waver, Help Wavell," urging viewers to take action and support the war effort. The image of the tanks in the desert is a nod to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, where British forces under the command of General Archibald Wavell were engaged in intense battles against Axis powers. The poster is part of the WFP III series, a collection of photolithographic posters produced during World War II to encourage citizens to save money, finance the war effort, and invest in war bonds. The poster's message was intended to inspire a sense of patriotism and duty, reminding citizens that their financial contributions could make a difference in the outcome of the war. The "Don't Waver, Help Wavell" poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and efforts made during wartime, and a testament to the power of collective action in times of crisis. Today, it stands as a historical artifact of the 1940s and a reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during World War II.
