A British comic postcard. || ‘A.E.’, the initials of the artist who created the scene printed on the front of this postcard, can be seen above the discarded shoes and socks on the right. A small boy is depicted kneeling by his bedside, praying beneath a portrait of ‘LORD KITCHENER’ (Secretary of State for War from 1914 to 1916). The text below reads, ‘“OH LORD, TAKE CARE OF KITCHENER, FOR IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO HIM, WE’D HAVE NOBODY TO LOOK AFTER US BUT THE DAILY MAIL.’ On the reverse, the printed details state: ‘W. & K. London, E.C. Series No. 3614C British Manufature.’ (‘W. & K.’ stands for ‘Wildt & Kray’.) || || Lord Kitchener || A British comic postcard: 'Oh Lord, take care of Kitchener'. || Postcard

A British postcard. || Printed at the bottom of this photographic postcard, on which four children are seen bidding their father farewell, are the words ‘“Good bye, Daddy,” Aldershot.’ (and the number ‘3722’). The scene is the railway station at Aldershot, in Hampshire, where a military band stands behind the family group. The badges on his left sleeve indicate that the children’s soldier–father is a corporal and a medical orderly, and it is likely that he is bound for a theatre of war. The printed information on the reverse of the postcard reads as follows: ‘Published by Mrs. R. Hughes, Stationery and Fancy Goods Depot, 95, High Street, Aldershot.’; ‘BRITISH MANUFACTURE’; and a circled ‘G’ preceding the numbers ‘3722-393’. || || Postcard || A British postcard showing a soldier's farewell

'A A Nash’, the signature of the artist who created the scene on the front of this postcard, can be seen under the chair on which a small girl is standing in order to embrace her British army–officer father. A lit candle in a holder rests on the corner of the chair.

The typeset details on the reverse include ‘Inter-Art Co., Red Lion Square, London, W.C.’ and ‘“N. A.” Series. No.1096. British Manufacture.’. The postcard has been addressed in pencil to ‘Mrs M Gould / 175 Harrowby St / Farnworth / Nr Bolton / Lancs / England’.
