Front || Card received by Agnes Dorothy Riley (Dolly)

‘Fredk Spurgin’, the name of the artist who drew the illustration on the front of this postcard, can be read above the caption, ‘COME OVER, YOU WILL BE WELCOME.’, with the French equivalent – ‘Passez, vous serez le bienvenu!’ – printed beneath that. The scene shows a British soldier walking resolutely towards a plank bridging a stream. A girl wearing a French liberty cap stands on the opposite bank, her arms outstretched in welcome. The printed information on the back states, ‘Inter-Art Co., Red Lion Square, London, W.C. / ALLIANCE” Series. / No. 280. / British Manufacture’. The postcard is addressed in ink to ‘Miss L. Draper. / No. 8. Manor Avenue. / Apsley End. / Hemel Hempstead / Herts’. There is also a message, which reads, ‘Dear Linn ? / Am sorry but shall not be able to come over on Saturday || A British patriotic postcard || || A British patriotic postcard || Postcard || Western Front

This postcard seems to be the second of a sequential pair, the first being entitled ‘FIRST AID’, while this one is headed ‘FIT AGAIN.’. Like the first postcard, this portrays a girl dressed as a nurse, and a boy wearing a British army officer’s uniform. The pair is flanking a dog, whose bandage the ‘nurse’ is in the process of removing. Printed on the back of the postcard is the following information: ‘(91) Entirely British Manufacture.’. || A British postcard || || Postcard || A British postcard entitled 'Fit Again'.
