EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative mess subscription card invites a glimpse into the past of RAF East Kirkby in Lincolnshire during World War II. Opened as a Bomber Command Station in August 1943, RAF East Kirkby was home to No. 57 Squadron and No. 630 Squadron. The card, bearing the title "Sergeants Mess," serves as a testament to the daily life and camaraderie of the air force personnel stationed there. Dated 1944, the card features the Royal Coat of Arms, a symbol of the monarchy's support for the military forces during wartime. The card's design is simple yet elegant, with the station's name, "East Kirkby," and the title "Sergeants Mess" printed in bold, clear typeface. The card's bottom left corner bears the insignia of Bomber Command, a roundel featuring a bomber plane and the motto "Bomber Command - In the Air." The mess system was an essential part of RAF life, providing a communal space for the servicemen to socialize, dine, and relax.
