Arthur Powell's diary written in a French prayer book.

‘AE’ are the initials of the artist who created the poignant scene on the front of this postcard. They can be seen to the right of the text, which reads, ‘A Prayer for Daddy / Daddy darling, night and morn / I pray for you where’er you be – / May God keep you safe from harm / And bring you soon back home to me.’. Portrayed above is a boy kneeling by his bed, hands clasped in prayer. Within the bubble of imagination above his head is a British soldier shouldering his rifle against the backdrop of a military encampment. The printed information on the reverse states that the postcard was ‘Printed in Great Britain’, plus ‘C P. C.. Series 405.’. A pencilled message has also been handwritten on the back: ‘To my Dear little Percy I am sending you this little card for you to learn when I come home & see you again. which I hope it will not be long now. With love from your Daddy. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’. || A British sentimental postcard || || Postcard || 'A prayer for Daddy'.
