EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking and vividly colored WW2 poster, titled "Malaria Strikes the Unprotected," was published by the Times of India Press in Bombay in 1940, during the height of the Second World War. Issued by the 2nd Division of the British Army, the poster serves as a powerful warning against the dangers of malaria, a tropical disease that was a significant health risk for soldiers stationed in the East. The image on the poster depicts a man lying helplessly on the floor, his body convulsing as he is attacked by a giant mosquito. The ominous caption reads, "Darkness brings Danger. Be Prepared." The use of bold, contrasting colors - red, white, and black - adds to the sense of urgency and danger. Malaria was a particularly insidious threat during wartime, as soldiers were often exposed to the disease in tropical climates where the mosquitoes that carry the parasite thrive. The poster's message was clear: without proper protection, malaria could strike anyone, even in the darkest hours of the night. The poster is part of the Burma Memorial Collection, which relates to the 2nd Division and the Burma Star Association. The image of the man under attack by a giant mosquito serves as a poignant reminder of the real dangers that soldiers faced during the war, both on the battlefield and in the camps and barracks. Today, this historic poster stands as a testament to the importance of disease prevention and the sacrifices made by soldiers during wartime. Its bold design and powerful message continue to resonate, reminding us of the importance of being prepared for the unknown dangers that lurk in the shadows.
