Rare Second World War Pocket Bible

Rare New Testament pocket Bible in attractive wooden cover given to SA troops in North Africa with a message of thanks and encouragement signed jointly by Prime Minister General Jan Smuts and his wife, Isie Smuts. The Bible was given to front-line troops as a 1943 Christmas gift from the SA Gifts and Comfort fund.

The Bible also contains a signed message dated 15 September 1939 from His Majesty by the King, George VI.

Considering its use, the Bible is in a remarkably good condition, although the binding on the front cover and first few pages is slightly damaged. Fogging occurs on the inside and back covers, probably due to the glue use d to attach the Smuts' message to the wooden covers. Light staining occurs on some of the front pages, although generally the rest of the Bible is clear and easily readable.

The size of the Bible measures approximately 80mm x 120mm. No attempt has been made to restore the book.
