A photograph of a British soldier, his wife and their baby. || The subjects of this photograph are a baby, apparently wearing a white christening gown, and his or her parents. The mother’s wedding ring is prominently displayed, but while the soldier–father’s white lanyard is visible, his shoulder titles are too indistinct to make out. ‘REF NO K946’ has been written in ink on the back of the photograph, which has not been printed on a postcard mount. || || Home Front || A photograph of a British soldier and his family. || Photograph

A real photographic postcard || There is nothing on this real photographic postcard to tell us who the pictured family of six are, or who produced this faded photograph. Three girls perched on a bench in front of a stone wall in order to be photographed, with their brother standing behind them, flanked by their parents. The cross within a circular badge on their soldier–father’s right sleeve indicates that he had qualified as a medical orderly. || || A photograph of a British soldier and his family || Photograph

A composite photograph of a separated British soldier's family || A mother and her three daughters posed for this photographic postcard in the absence of the father of the family. A photograph of him in uniform has been crudely incorporated into the top-left-hand corner. There is no information, printed or handwritten, to throw any light on the family’s identity or location, while the soldier’s cap badge is too indistinct for his unit to be identifiable. || || Photograph || A composite photograph of a separated British family
