This is a photo of volunteers from Llandrindod Wells ready to set out for Hereford to enlist in the Herefordshire Regiment. Emlyn James is bare-headed, kneeling in the middle of the front row. His friends, the brothers Tom and Frank Edwards, are standing on the left of the picture: Tom is bare-headed, Frank is wearing a hat and has his arms crossed.

The rather smudged printed information on the reverse of this real photographic postcard reads ‘LANKESTER, ROMNEY STUDIO, / 38, High Street, Tunbridge Wells in Kent’. A family of three is pictured on the front, posed in front of a plain backdrop. A small girl sits on her mother’s lap, with her soldier–father standing to the side. His cap badge is that of the Duke of Cambridge’s Own (Middlesex Regiment). || A real photographic postcard || || Photograph || A photograph of a British soldier and his family
