The Trunk | The Art of Manliness
The Manliest Stuff on the Internet
You’ve very likely seen the famous British “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster from WWII. This short video gives the interesting history behind it, along with a peek inside the wonderful-looking bookstore that played a role in that history. Would love to pay that bookstore a visit someday.
Hat tip to Charles L. for this.

The internet is a big place. A man can waste a lot of time searching for the manliest stuff the web has to offer. Let us do the searching for you. The AoM Trunk is a collection of cool stuff that we find while wandering the vast deserts of the world wide web. Like your grandpa's old trunk, the AoM Trunk is full of manly photos, films, and accouterments. Check back daily for new, manly finds.

Fascinating story and smartly put together video, those were some dark times. By the time WW2 started my Great Grandfather had already fought in two wars but he still joined the Local Defence Volunteers (soon to be the Home Guard). You can read about how he and thousands of other men, deemed too old or unfit for the regular army, prepared to form Britain’s last line of defence on my blog. http://www.tomgoldbooks.blogspot.com
Keep calm and carry on!
Keep calm and chive on
