A photographic portrait of a British family of three. || The family pictured on the front of this postcard comprises a small girl flanked by her soldier–father and her mother. The brass shoulder title on her father’s right shoulder appears to bear the initials ‘RGA’ (which stands for the Royal Garrison Artillery), and he wears a white lanyard. Printed on the reverse of the postcard is the name and address of the photographer: ‘Lilian Ream, M.P.P.A., Wisbech & Long Sutton’ (Wisbech is in Cambridgeshire, while Long Sutton is in Lincolnshire). The stamp box is marked ‘K Ltd / STAMP HERE’.

The unnamed family that was photographed in an unknown photographer’s studio comprises a small girl, seated at the front, her older sister and brother, and their mother and soldier–father, the details of whose collar and cap badges are unclear. The handwritten message on the back reads, ‘Wishing you both a Happy Christmas’. || A real photographic postcard || || A photograph of a British soldier and his family || Front || Photograph
