A mother and daughter have been portrayed reading a letter together in the main scene presented by this postcard. Below them is the head-and-shoulders vignette of a pipe-smoking British soldier. The verse to the right is headed ‘Love to Daddy’, and continues: ‘Dear Daddy, we often wish that you were back once more. To take your loved ones in your arms as you used to do before. We know how good and true and brave you are, and so we wait / Trusting to God above, who is both good and great.’. The only information of note on the reverse are the typeset details ‘82’ and ‘Printed in England.’. || A British sentimental postcard || || Postcard || A British sentimental postcard || Front

A British sentimental postcard || A girl is shown on the front of this postcard, pen in hand and apparently lost in thought. She is no doubt thinking of her father, the melancholy soldier pictured above, for her letter starts ‘Dear Daddy’. The text below, headed ‘Writing to Daddy.’, reads, ‘“Dear daddy, cheer up – but I just do miss you– / I’m always longing to hug and kiss you.”’. The printed details on the reverse include ‘Bamforth & Co., Ltd., Publishers Holmfirth (England) and New York. / “PATRIOT” Series. No. 1045. Printed in England.’. || || Postcard || Front || A British sentimental postcard
