Soldier Humour 1960

Soldier is an in-house monthly magazine produced and published by the MOD. It was founded in March 1945, in Brussels, a morale boosting idea of Field Marshal Montgomery. Until 1997, it was a fortnightly publication.

 

Pay parade - marching up to the officer behind the table, halting and saluting and presenting your AB64 (Pay Book), checking the fortnightly £14 handed over, and shouting "pay and allowances all correct , thank you SIR!", saluting, about turning, and marching off. Much more civilised when I went on the bank.

 

This book of cartoons from the magazine, was produced in 1960 when National Service was still in force.
