I learnt some awesome songs and rhymes like, If you`ve news of ammuntions KEEP IT DARK ships or planes or troop postions KEEP IT DARK if you`ve private information here`s a tip for the duration KEEP IT DARK. and Tittle tattle lost the battle. There was also a cartoon character, invented to teach the population about the danger of talking to strangers and giving away vital information, called Miss Leaky Mouth. If you enjoyed this, you`ll probably also enjoy Woeful Second World War.
