I've gone crackers over a soldier
EDITORS COMMENTS
reads the playful caption on this charming WW2-era comic postcard from 1945. The image features a curiously uncaptioned MLA character, a cute little girl with pigtails and a wide-eyed expression, gazing longingly at a soldier in full military uniform. The soldier, with a blushing cheek and a hat in hand, seems equally smitten. The simple yet amusing scene is a testament to the light-hearted and innocent humour that emerged during wartime, providing a welcome respite from the harsh realities of the 2nd World War. Published by Valentine & Co. in Dundee, Scotland, this postcard was created by the renowned British artist Mabel Lucie Attwell. Known for her sweet and whimsical illustrations, Attwell's work captured the hearts of people during the war, offering a sense of comfort and joy in the face of adversity. The absence of a box of crackers in the scene is a curious omission, but the title of the postcard more than makes up for it, adding an extra layer of fun and amusement to this delightful snapshot of wartime humour.
