Louis Masquelier (1898-1945)
The Telephone
L. Masquelier/ Lorraine Sqdrn. (2nd TAF Security Poster No.4)
Lithographic Original Poster
55×34.5cm
Issued by the 2nd Tactical Airforce (‘TAF’). This was a combination of both fighter and bomber units formed for the purposes of supporting the army in the 1944 invasion of Europe. The artist was a Sergent-chef (sergeant) in No 342 (Lorraine) Squadron RAF, a Free French Squadron transferred back to the Armée de l’Air in December 1945. An air gunner – and relatively old at 41 at the beginning of the war – he flew on many operations, also serving as cine-cameraman thanks to his artistic skills. He died on 28 May 1945, after the end of the war. Here a Frenchman has depicted that most English of items, Giles Gilbert Scott’s K2 telephone box warning members of the 2nd TAF to be careful when using the telephone.
The message that Careless Talk Costs Lives was an ongoing one during World War II and although that caption is not explicitly used here, Fougasse's more famous series also referred to the careless use of a telephone box.
