A real photographic postcard || Written on the back of this real photographic postcard is the note ‘Mum, Dad, & Me’. Unfortunately, there is nothing further to tell us ‘Me’s’ name, or that of her parents. The family was photographed by an unknown photographer in an outdoor setting. The little girl’s soldier–father is missing his belt, and the details of his cap badge are not distinct enough to be identifiable. || || Front || A photograph of a British soldier and his family || Photograph
