Notes
- Keep Mum posters from IWM (replicated within the Battlebox)
- http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-the-origins-of-the-phrase-keeping-mum.htm - Mmmmmm. Mummeries. Mummer. The term was also borrowed by members of the acting community, who started to put on “mummeries,” or silent plays, at around the same time. In a mummery, people would wear masks to conceal their identities, and portray a scene which was often laden with political and social commentary.
