The subject of this photograph is a small boy dressed in a replica of a British soldier’s uniform, complete with lanyard and toy gun. His eight-pointed cap badge resembles the ‘cap star’ of the Coldstream Guards.

Printed on the back of this real photographic postcard is the name of the photographic studio that produced it: ‘Leo. Legge & Co., 12 Grainger Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne.’. Two small children gaze out at the viewer, the baby supported by his mother, and the little girl resting her arm on a table.

A boy photographed in Gateshead dressed as a British soldier
1 Item
The printed details on the back of this photographic postcard showing a boy dressed as a British soldier give the name of the photographer who produced it: ‘J. Bambridge, Photographer, 197, High St., Gateshead.’. Gateshead was in County Durham at the time of the First World War, which means that the boy’s cap badge is almost certainly that of the Durham Light Infantry. || A photograph showing a boy dressed as a British soldier || || A photograph of a Gateshead boy dressed as a soldier || Photograph || Deutsch
