EDITORS COMMENTS
W.A.T's Doing? - A Glimpse into the Playful Side of the WW2 Home Front This delightful WW2-era comic postcard, published circa 1941, captures the spirit of innocence and wartime humor with its charming depiction of a young girl in a WATS uniform. The Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service (WATS) was an essential part of the British military during World War II, with women being called up as early as 1941. The image on this postcard, featuring a cute and smartly dressed girl in a khaki uniform and officers' cap, raises the question, "W.A.T's Doing?" The playful caption adds to the light-heartedness of the scene, as if inviting us to ponder the mischievous antics of these young recruits. The postcard's artist, Mabel Lucie Attwell, was known for her sweet and humorous illustrations, which often featured children and animals. Her work was published by Valentine & Sons in Dundee, Scotland, and her caricatures brought joy and laughter to people during the challenging times of the war. This postcard is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the people during the WW2 era. It offers a glimpse into the lighter side of the war, reminding us that even in the most difficult of times, there is always room for a bit of fun and amusement.
