EDITORS COMMENTS
A light-hearted moment amidst the rigors of military training: This comic postcard from the 1940s captures a group of soldiers in the British Army during World War II as they engage in a playful take on their physical training exercises. The scene unfolds in the dimly lit interior of a hut, where a sergeant stands at the front, barking out instructions with a stern expression. The soldiers, all clad in their iconic khaki uniforms, are bent over at the waist with their bottoms sticking up in the air, seemingly in the midst of an unusual exercise. The caption at the bottom reads, "Donald McGill's Funny War Postcards: 'Large Bottoms for the Sergeant's Inspection'." Despite the demanding nature of wartime training, this humorous postcard serves as a reminder that even in the most challenging of circumstances, a sense of humor and camaraderie could prevail. The soldiers' sweat-drenched brows and heavy breathing suggest that the exertion is real, but their amused expressions and the overall tone of the image hint at a shared understanding that the situation is not entirely serious.
