EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage WW2 greetings card, dating back to the 1940s, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by young soldiers during wartime. The intricate illustration on the front features a young serviceman inside a horseshoe, symbolising good fortune and luck in battle. The card was designed to be sent to soldiers serving overseas, offering them a touch of home and encouragement during difficult times.
The ribbon adorning the card adds an extra touch of sentimentality, as it would have been carefully chosen by loved ones wishing their soldier well. In an era marked by uncertainty and fear, gestures like sending greeting cards were small but meaningful ways for families to show their support for those fighting on the front lines.
As we look back on this piece of history from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we are reminded of the bravery and resilience displayed by all those who served in World War II. This simple yet heartfelt token serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of camaraderie and solidarity that defined that tumultuous time.
