EDITORS COMMENTS
"But you said 'Fall In'! The playful scene on this WW2-era comic postcard from 1942 depicts a young lad in a forage cap taking a dip in a large puddle, while an officer with a wooden sword stands at attention nearby. A girl, holding an oar and a walking stick fashioned as makeshift rifles, playfully joins in on the fun. The light-hearted image is a testament to the resilient spirit of the era, with the Prime Minister's message in the background urging everyone to 'stand together and hold firm.' The caricatured illustration, featuring cute kids and innocent fun, is reminiscent of the work of artist Madge Williams. The small print captures the essence of wartime humour, showcasing a moment of levity amidst the larger context of the 2nd World War." (Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans Prints Online)
