US out of Vietnam: 1960s graffiti still visible on a railway bridge back in my old home town, High Wycombe, England.

 

 

The probable authors of this artwork were the Young Communist League (YCL), who were the youth organisation of the Communist Party of Great Britain.

 

In Wycombe they were also responsible for a huge painted 'Join the YCL' in Birdcage Walk, visible from the town's railway platforms, which survived for ten years or more; for 'US out of Viet** [work presumably interrupted]' on another railway bridge; and for my all-time favourite, 'LBJ Murderer', of which I cannot now recall the exact location.
