The sound that kills

Warning, aliens

Careless talk, 2

Bits of careless talk

Award for careless talk

Who wants to know?

If you tell where he's going

Battle-wise infantryman

The enemy is listening

Warning, sabotage

This man may die

I’m counting on you

Careless word, 1

Careless word, 2

Careless word, 3

Less dangerous than careless talk

Somebody blabbed, 1

Somebody blabbed, 2

Someone talked

He’s watching you

Wanted for murder

This happens when you talk to others about ship sailings

Keep mum - the world has ears

Let's censor our conversation about the war

Keep mum : Loose talk costs lives

Keep mum chum

Let me do the talking! : Serve in silence

Careless talk costs lives

Don't tell him what you know

I pledge allegiance and silence about the war

If you tell where they're going

Quiet! Loose talk can cost lives

Loose talk can cost lives, 1

Loose talk can cost lives, 2

Loose talk can cost lives, 3

Loose talk can cause this

Button your lip

Closed for the duration

Don't be a dope

Americans suffer

Be smart, act dumb

The battle-wise infantryman

I'm counting on you

Warning from the FBI
