A British sentimental/comic postcard || Artist Reg Maurice’s name can be seen in the bottom right-hand corner of this postcard. He has depicted a farewell scene at a station. A British soldier with his kitbag and rifle propped up behind him is kissing a child goodbye, watched by his wife, with a babe in arms, and five more children. The caption reads, ‘It takes a long time to say good-bye.’. The printed information on the back states ‘No. 3143 Printed in England. / The Regent Publishing Co. Ltd. London NW’ and ‘All British’. || || A British sentimental/comic postcard || Front || Postcard

The name of the photographic studio or publisher that produced this postcard is absent from the back. On the front, posed in a studio setting, is a British sergeant and his family. The soldier is holding his youngest son, who appears to be addressing him, while the boy’s older brother and candle-holding mother look on. The captions above and below read, ‘A real good night this time’ and ‘“Daddy” don’t let the Germans come’. || A British sentimental postcard || || Postcard || A British sentimental postcard || Front
