A British soldier's family marks a christening
1 Item
There are no handwritten or printed details on this real photographic postcard to tell us who the family of six pictured are, or who photographed them in a garden setting in an unspecified location. The occasion is clear from the baby’s long white gown, however: its christening. The baby’s siblings and mother are also dressed in festive white clothes for the occasion. Their soldier–father’s uniform, by contrast, looks rather creased. The single chevron on his sleeves indicates that he is a lance corporal. The details of his shoulder titles are indistinct. || A real photographic postcard || || Photograph || A photograph of a British soldier and his family marking a christening
