A British sentimental postcard || The main scene on the front of this postcard shows a woman, newspaper folded open on her lap, looking fondly at her son, who is dressed in a British officer’s uniform and has placed a hand on her shoulder. Inset to the left is a head-and-shoulders vignette of a British soldier, who is gazing into space. Headed ‘To Daddy’, the verse below reads: ‘From your laddie comes a greeting, / Far across the sea, / I hope that you are free from harm, / And soon come back to me.’. ‘Printed in England.’ and ‘Series No. 91’ are printed on the reverse. || || A British sentimental postcard || Postcard
