Next month marks the 80th anniversary of SOLDIER magazine, originally created to boost the morale of British troops in WWII. Initially printed in Brussels and later in Germany, the magazine adapted over time, transitioning through the Cold War to its current glossy format. An exhibition at the National Army Museum highlights this history through photographs and cover art, although it lacks in-depth information about its production. The exhibition runs until July 2025 and is free to visitors.
The exhibition mainly features behind-the-scenes photos of civil service journalists and front covers of the magazine dated from 1945 to modern times.
SOLDIER magazine started as a morale-booster for troops during WWII and has evolved through the Cold War into a contemporary glossy magazine.
