EDITORS COMMENTS
Circa 1944: A Refresher Course in Wartime Humor and Innocence - This charming comic postcard captures the spirit of camaraderie and resilience during the WW2 era. The image shows a group of soldiers and a young woman, likely a volunteer, gathered at a Forces Club. The NaFI (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) and WVS (Women's Voluntary Service) ran such clubs to provide comfort and relaxation for the troops. The cute kids in the foreground, with a little dog feeding from a bowl, add a light-hearted touch to the scene. The Prime Minister's message, "This is a time for everyone to stand together and hold firm," is a reminder of the unity and determination required during those challenging times. The caricatured figures, drawn by renowned artist Raphael Tuck, add a playful and amusing touch to the postcard. The boy in the foreground, sharing a ginger beer with a grinning airman, is a testament to the simple joys and shared experiences that brought a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos of war. The innocence and humor portrayed in this postcard serve as a refreshing contrast to the seriousness of the war effort. This piece of WW2 history is a reminder of the importance of staying positive and finding joy in the midst of adversity.
