{KEEP CALM and CARRY ON: The History}
The Ministry of Information (MOI) was informed by the British Government as the department responsible for publicity and propaganda of War, the MOI was appointed but the British Government to design a number of moral boosting posters that would be displayed across the British Isles during the testing times that lay ahead.
With a bold coloured background, the posters were required to be similar in style and feature the symbolic crown of Kind George VI along with a simple yet effective font. The first two posters, 'Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution will Bring Us Victory' and 'Freedom is in Peril' were produced bu His Majesty Stationery's Office (HMSO).
These two were posted on public transport, in shop windows, upon notice boards and hoardings across Britain. The third and final poster of the set was again very straight forward and to the point, it simply read, 'Keep Calm and Carry On'. The plan in place for this poster was to issue it only upon the invasion of Britain by Germany. As this bever happened, the poster was only displayed on a very few office walls and was never officially seen by the public.
It is believed that most of the Keep Calm posters were destroyed and reduced to a pulp at the end of the war in 1945. However, nearly 60 years later, a bookseller from Barter Books stumbled across a copy hidden amongst a pile of dusty old books bought from an auction. A small number also remain in the National Archives and the Imperial War Museum in London.
Sadly, no record remains of the unknown Civil Servant who originally came up with the simple and quintessential Britishness of the Keep Calm and Carry On message. However, it is wonderful to think that all these years later, people still fint it so appealing and reassuring in modern times.
