The printed information on the back of this photographic postcard informs us that the family of six pictured on the front visited a studio in south-east London in order to sit for their family portrait: ‘Portrait by Ed. Sharp, 221 Westminster Bridge Road, S.E.’, it states. The oldest boy has duplicate versions of his soldier–father’s cap badge and shoulder title pinned to his left lapel as sign of support, which confirm that his father was serving in the Army Service Corps when this photograph was taken. It looks as though his younger brother, who is standing between him and his father, is similarly wearing a cap badge and shoulder title on his right lapel. || A British photographic postcard. || || A photograph of a British soldier and his family. || Photograph
