A British sentimental postcard || There are three elements to this postcard: the main image of a kneeling girl praying by her bed; a smaller head-and-shoulders portrait of a British soldier smoking a pipe; and a verse. Headed ‘Thinking of You’, the verse reads: ‘This little card is sent, my Daddy dear to say, / How very oft we think of you, now you’re so far away. / Ten hundred thousand kisses are not enough I know, / And still I think I’ll send them, for you, my love to show.’. Typeset details on the reverse include ‘84’ and ‘Printed in England.’. || || Front || Postcard || A British sentimental postcard

Series’. || || Postcard || A British sentimental postcard.
