I've just decorated the lounges with newspaper clippings and the silloute solider. We will be having afternoon tea followed by old classics war songs followed by a film.

Does anyone know where I can source some old war time posters ready for VE Day? I'm looking for land army, careless talk, coughs and sneezes, that kind of thing.
