And because I'm bored to tears

So, anyone of you aware of where 'Keep Calm and Carry On' comes from?
It was a motovation poster for the Second World War ( 1939 ), however, it was never used. Until it was rediscovered in 2000 and thus used for various projects.

It was a last case resort, should the Britons lose the Battle of Britian, it's purpose was as a way to stiffen morale. Thankfully, we didn't lose, and it therefore wasn't needed. SOmewhere around two-and-a-half million were printed even though they were distributed in limited numbers. The creator isn't known either.

'Keep Calm and Carry On' was one in a series of three, the other two being "Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory" (800,000 printed) and "Freedom is in Peril" (400,000 printed).

Planning for the posters started in April of 1939, by June their desins were prepared and by August they were on the way to the printers. They were to be put up within 24 hours of the outbreak of war. Oh and, the crown was to show they were to be a message from the Crown to the people. 'Your Courage' was the most popular, being the first.

Thats pretty much it about the history, so then.

Keep Calm and Carry On.
