EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2 greetings card from the March of the Women Collection captures a moment of joy and camaraderie among Royal Navy sailors during wartime. The fold-out illustration inside the card features three musical sailors, singing and playing the accordion with skill and enthusiasm. A black cat, symbolizing good fortune, sits beside them as they entertain each other in a rare moment of respite from the challenges of war. The scene depicted in this circa 1940s card is a poignant reminder of the humanity that persists even in times of conflict. The sailors' music serves as a form of escape, bringing comfort and unity to those who serve together at sea. It also highlights the importance of friendship and shared experiences in maintaining morale during difficult times. As we reflect on this piece of WWII memorabilia, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by servicemen and women during World War II. This greeting card not only offers a glimpse into history but also serves as a tribute to those who served bravely during one of the most challenging periods in modern history.
