Described as a ‘MIDGET MESSAGE CARD’, further printed information on the back of this card, which is far smaller than a postcard, includes the following details: ‘Presented with “The Red Letter.”’ / ‘From’; ‘The Address only to be written here’ / ‘To’; and ‘For Halfpenny Postage Sender’s Name and Address only allowed.’ Two elements make up the composite image on the front: firstly, a photograph of a small girl with her hands held together in prayer, looking towards, secondly, an inset head-and-shoulders portrait of a British soldier. Printed across the lower third of the card is the following verse: ‘You know, dear Daddy, I don’t forget / And I pray for you every day. / And God will bless you I know, but yet / I’d rather you’d not stay away. / You know, dear Daddy, we’re thinking of you / Always, wherever you be. / And we always know that you’re brave and true / Just the same as Mamma and me.’ Along the bottom are the words ‘Copyright’ and ‘Wanderer’, while ‘No. 10’ can be seen in the bottom right-hand corner. || A British sentimental postcard.
