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"
