EDITORS COMMENTS
A Special Constable's Predicament in Wartime: Two Policemen Lend a Helping Hand, Circa 1940s Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the daily routine of law enforcement continued unabated. This charming comic postcard captures the lighter side of the British police force during this period, as two policemen offer some much-needed advice and training to an inexperienced Special Constable. The image features two policemen in full uniform, complete with helmets and truncheons, standing in the foreground. The sergeant, with a stern yet amused expression, points towards a new recruit, a young Special Constable, who appears to be struggling with the intricacies of handling a baton. The constable, wearing a blue uniform and looking somewhat bewildered, clutches the baton awkwardly, as if unsure of what to do next. The humorous tone of the postcard is further emphasized by the caption, which reads, "Advice for the New Special Constable," adding to the lighthearted and fun atmosphere. This comic postcard serves as a reminder of the camaraderie and sense of humor that existed even during the most challenging of times. The postcard is reminiscent of the iconic wartime illustrations by Donald McGill, known for their humorous and often risqué content. This particular image, however, focuses on the everyday experiences of the British police force during the 1940s, providing a unique and entertaining glimpse into history.
