Physical Fitness on the High Seas - Exercise on board HMS Devonshire, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment of physical training aboard the illustrious HMS Devonshire in 1937. As part of their daily routine, sailors engage in "physical jerks" a term used to describe exercises aimed at improving strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. The image showcases a group of dedicated men clad in naval attire diligently following their instructor's lead on the ship's deck. The disciplined sailors perform synchronized movements with precision and determination. Their commitment to maintaining peak physical condition is evident as they stretch, bend, and twist their bodies under the open sky. Amidst the backdrop of this warship heavy cruiser, one can't help but admire both the beauty and power that emanate from these individuals engaged in exercise. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when health and fitness were highly valued even amidst military duties. Produced by Senior Service Cigarettes as part of The Navy series cigarette cards collection, this print serves as a testament to British pride and dedication during times of conflict. It reminds us that even within the confines of warships like HMS Devonshire, efforts were made to prioritize physical well-being alongside duty. As we reflect upon this remarkable piece from our past century's history, it serves as an inspiration for today's generation to embrace exercise not only for its health benefits but also for fostering discipline and camaraderie among individuals working towards common goals - just like those
