EDITORS COMMENTS
Good Night, Forces: A Playful Wartime Humor Postcard from 1945 During the tumultuous times of World War II, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, a sense of humor and lightheartedness found its way into the hearts of people, even in the midst of adversity. This charming comic postcard, titled "Good Night, Forces," is a testament to the enduring spirit of wartime humor and the innocence of childhood. The postcard, published by Raphael Tuck and Sons and featuring the artistry of Dinah, depicts a sweet little girl in her nightgown, sitting in bed with a hot water bottle, waving goodnight to a soldier. The soldier, dressed in full military regalia, is shown outside her window, saluting and giving a friendly wave in return. The caption reads, "Good Night, Forces. We have to gain the Victory. That is our task." This playful scene is a nod to the closing words of BBC Forces Radio, which broadcast to the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from 1940 to 1944. The message, "Good Night, Forces," became a comforting and familiar part of soldiers' lives, signaling the end of the day's broadcasts and reminding them of their ultimate goal - to gain victory in the war. Despite the fact that the BBC Forces Radio broadcast had ended by 1945, the sentiment and humor captured in this postcard continue to resonate with us today, reminding us of the importance of staying hopeful and finding joy in the midst of difficult times.
