A British sentimental postcard || This is clearly a well-handled postcard, being rather grubby and creased. Entitled ‘MEMORIES’, the posed scene shows a small girl, her doll discarded by her side, gazing intently at a framed photograph of a British soldier. The verse below reads, ‘DADDY’S photo, why don’t you talk to me and play, / Just like my own Daddy did, ’fore he went away ? / Still, I guess as you’re like Dad, you’ve got lots to do, / Maybe that’s why you don’t talk, tho’ I talks to you’. The name ‘MADELEINE ST CLAIR’ (presumably the author of the poem) is printed across the bottom. The printed information on the reverse reads ‘PRINTED IN BRITAIN’ and ‘BAMFORTH & CO., LTD., PUBLISHERS HOLMFIRTH (ENGLAND) AND NEW YORK / “PATRIOT” SERIES. NO. 1063. PRINTED IN ENGLAND.’. A message has been written in pencil in a child’s hand. It reads: ‘Dear Father, Just a line hoping you are well and happy and you are a long time letting me know when you received my letter. Mother ? if she can get Sarahs sic and Lily’s frocks made we are going to have our photos taken I am proud to hear you are alright So good night and god bless you xxxxxxx’
