EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph poster from 1944, titled "Tablet Day," offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of British soldiers on active service during World War II, specifically in Italy. The poster, designed as a medical-related guidance tool, features the image of 2nd Lt. Stacey Hopper, a military figure who served valiantly during this period. The soldier in the poster is depicted in his khaki tropical uniform, complete with shorts and a bulging neck pouch, as he swallows an anti-malaria tablet. The bulge in his neck is a testament to the numerous pills that soldiers were required to take daily to protect themselves from the mosquito-borne disease. The tablet, a vital component of their daily routine, is a stark reminder of the harsh realities of wartime conditions. The poster's vibrant colors and detailed illustration serve to grab the attention of the soldiers, making the often-unpleasant task of taking medication a more palatable experience. The poster's caption reads, "Tablet Day!," encouraging soldiers to remain diligent in their health and wellbeing, even amidst the chaos and danger of the battlefield. This historical artifact offers a unique perspective on the daily challenges faced by soldiers during the 1940s, and serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who served during World War II. The Tablet Day poster is an essential addition to any collection of military history or World War II memorabilia.
