Reveille was a popular British newspaper during the Second World War[1] and Post War Years. In the Fifties it increased its light-entertainment pages and would often feature Royalty.
During the Sixties and Seventies it became known as "Reveille Magazine" and would publish large double-page pop posters and would also feature tasteful glamour models. It was really the forerunner to The Sun, although Reveille actually had a blue logo.
Reveille ceased printing in the late 1970s.
