A patriotic postcard || A boy wearing a sailor suit, hands on knees, gazes resolutely out at us from the front of this photographic postcard, above the legend ‘ “THEY’LL NEVER PASS US.” ‘ Printed on the reverse, on the left-hand side of the postcard, is the following verse: ‘A LOVING BIRTHDAY WISH. / …… / To-day is your Birthday ! / O, may you enjoy it, / ’Til all of its moments / are counted and o er, / May luck be your lot, and / may nothing destroy it, / Through years that hold / dozens of Birthdays / in store.’. ‘From’ is printed beneath that, and ‘Auntie Maud’ has been written in black ink alongside it, the handwritten message continuing, ‘with all sic to all I will get you something when I come home Auntie Maud’. She has addressed the postcard to ‘Master B. Turner / c/o Mrs R. ? Turner / Hants Hill / Horsford / Nr Norwich in Norfolk’. The postmark tells us that it was posted in ‘Brixton S.W. London’ on 23 August 1915. The printed text states, ‘Published by Solomon Bros. Ltd., / Graphic House, New North Road, London.’ / ‘SB Series’ / ‘Series No. 114’. || || Postcard || A British patriotic postcard

I beleive it was the custom of bereaved families to have family photographs taken to include those recently lost by using photographs. Ernest is the one on the left of the picture as you look at it. I believe the person on the right to be a realtive too but I have yet to identify him. My grandmother is the young girl behind the table with her father.
