Description: | WW2 leaflet portraying Winston Churchill as a gangster, presented in the style of a wanted poster. Front reads "WANTED // FOR INCITEMENT TO MURDER". The reverse criticises Churchill for involving ordinary civilians in the war and states he is acting against the Hague Convention.
Leaflet was picked up by donor's father William Barker who worked as a signal man at Carrington Signal Box (where Clarendon College is now). The leaflets were dropped during the early part of the war [August 1940]. The donor and his family lived at 9 Rowland Avenue, Mapperley during the war. William Barker was too old to join the forces in the 2nd World War - he had been in the first World War and had been gassed. This leaflet was dropped from a German aeroplane during August 1940 and was picked up by William Barker who worked at Carrington signal box.
