Description
"In War and Peace We Serve." Early in World War II, the "Big Four" railways of Britain -- the Great Western Railway, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the London and North Eastern Railway, and the Southern Railway -- issued this propaganda poster illustrated by Reginald Mayes. A copy of "In War and Peace We Serve" is displayed at the National Railway Museum. Coincidentally, the livery on the steam locomotive and train resembles the British Railways blue livery at first glance.
