EDITORS COMMENTS
In the Quartermasters Stores: A Glimpse into Wartime Provisions (Music cover: 'In the Quartermasters Stores' (My Eyes are Dim I Cannot See), adapted by Box, Cox and Bert Read, 1940) This evocative cover image from the 1940s takes us back in time to the bustling atmosphere of a Quartermaster's Store during World War II. The scene is filled with the hustle and bustle of soldiers, eagerly exchanging their ration tickets for essential supplies. The Quartermaster's Store was a vital part of the military infrastructure, providing soldiers with the necessary food, drink, and other provisions to sustain them during their service. The cover art depicts a soldier standing at a counter, his eyes dimmed with fatigue as he carefully selects items from a barrel of cheese, a sack of wings, and a pile of bread. Behind him, other soldiers are seen reaching over the counter, grabbing sacks of meat, and engaging in animated conversation. The Quartermaster, dressed in a smart uniform, efficiently manages the crowd, ensuring that each soldier receives their fair share. The title of the music cover, 'In the Quartermasters Stores' (My Eyes are Dim I Cannot See), adds an extra layer of depth to the image. The lyrics of the song, penned by Box, Cox, and Bert Read, likely reflect the weariness and longing felt by soldiers during their time in the military. The cover art and the music it represents offer a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during wartime and the essential role that Quartermaster's Stores played in their daily lives. This cover image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the daily realities of wartime provisioning and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
