A photograph of a British sergeant's family of four
A photograph of a British soldier's family
Two young girls and their parents apparently posed in a garden for this photograph, which is printed on a postcard. No information is given that might help us to identify the location or the family’s name, the only potential clue being the ‘A? B5’ written by hand in the bottom-right-hand corner of the photograph. The three stripes on each of his sleeves, and his distinctive cap badge, tell us that the soldier–father of the family is a sergeant serving in the Corps of Royal Engineers.

The name of the photographic studio that the family of four gazing out at us visited in order to be photographed does not appear on this real photographic postcard. Both children wear sturdy boots. Their soldier–father’s cap badge most closely resembles that of the Border Regiment. || || A photograph of a British soldier's family of four. || Photograph

A real photographic postcard || There is nothing on the reverse of this real photographic postcard to tell us who the family of four pictured on the front may have been, or which photographer’s studio they visited in order to pose for their group portrait. Both solemn-looking boys are dressed in white short trousers and tunics. They and their mother gaze at their camera, while their soldier–father stares into the distance. || || Photograph || A photograph of a British soldier and his wife and sons
