EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a collection of WW2 Army Exercise Instruction hanging cards from the 1940s. Dated circa 1940, these three double-sided cards, visible here are for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, were an essential part of military life during wartime. The cards, designed with a humorous touch, illustrate various physical exercises that soldiers were expected to perform daily to maintain their fitness and readiness for battle. The cards, featuring the distinctive illustrations of renowned British satirical artist, Fougasse, are a testament to the importance placed on physical fitness during WW2. Each day's exercises were outlined in detail, with clear instructions on how to execute each movement correctly. From squats and lunges to leg raises and stretches, these exercises were designed to improve strength, flexibility, and endurance. The cards' vibrant colors and playful illustrations add a touch of levity to the otherwise serious business of war. The soldier in the illustrations is depicted with a determined expression, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong and healthy body in the face of adversity. These WW2 Army Exercise Instruction hanging cards are a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the 1940s. They serve as a reminder of the dedication, discipline, and resilience required to serve in the military during wartime. This photograph print is an excellent addition to any collection of military history or WW2 memorabilia.
