Salute!

Salute! The Four Services promotion game was published by Jaques around 1940. The cards are divided into four suits, showing different officer rank insignia and badges embroidered on the cuffs or epaulettes of the Royal Navy, Army, Air Force and Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Services personnel. The idea of the game, besides teaching players to spot the various ranks, is to gain promotion by playing cards of the same suit in ascending value of ranking on the top of the central pile. There are 51 cards in the original box and there are two copies of the rules booklet. The pack is missing one card. (Number 13 of the circular suit)
