*Notes
32nd Fatigues
From the days when entertainment was 'uniform'... Promotional postcard for a (presumably) WW1-era concert party. I haven't been able to find out anything about this group, but the name suggests they were a genuine military support unit. In WW2 such activities were the concern of the NAAFI or ENSA, providing essential light entertainment for off-duty troops.
A note in verse on the back of the card reads:
We've now come to the end of our programme,
So we now wish you all good-bye,
We trust that our humble efforts
Have filled you with delight,
We wish you all you wish yourselves.
One thing we ask you please,
Is to always have a kind thought for the
32nd. F A T I G U E S.
Then a hand-written note:
"Good-bye and the very best of luck from 32nd Fatigues"
