An Unconfirmed Report states - Rumours, H.M. Bateman, WW1
"An unconfirmed report states -
Rumour."
This Bateman cartoon warns the readers against passing on potentially important information during wartime to friends. The character at the beginning of the cartoon sees a carriage with its blinds down and decides to tell his friends, who then pass on the information to their friends until eventually one of the men sells his story to the newspapers. Similar to the Careless talk costs lives posters of the Second World War, this illustration encourages readers to keep any secrets to themselves lest they fall into the wrong hands
