'Welcome peace 1918'
The photograph on the front of this postcard is captioned ‘WELCOME PEACE 1918’. ‘C. W. Lloyd’, presumably the photographer’s name, can be seen in the bottom right-hand corner. The photographer has photographed two small boys standing in front of a group of British soldiers in well-worn uniforms. To the left is a ‘B. L. Howitzer’. The sign on the vehicle to the far left reads, ‘Feed the guns with war bonds and help to end the war’. The logo of the postcard’s manufacturer, ‘Sanbride’, has been printed on the reverse. There is also circular stamp on the back that displays a picture of a big gun with ’30 Nov 1918 / 35’ beneath.

‘Fredk Spurgin’, the name of the artist who drew the illustration on the front of this postcard, can be read above the caption, ‘COME OVER, YOU WILL BE WELCOME.’, with the French equivalent – ‘Passez, vous serez le bienvenu!’ – printed beneath that. The scene shows a British soldier walking resolutely towards a plank bridging a stream. A girl wearing a French liberty cap stands on the opposite bank, her arms outstretched in welcome. The printed information on the back states, ‘Inter-Art Co., Red Lion Square, London, W.C. / ALLIANCE” Series. / No. 280. / British Manufacture’. The postcard is addressed in ink to ‘Miss L.
