Two photographic elements make up the front of this postcard. The main scene shows a boy apparently reading a letter, beneath the words, ‘Ever thinking of my Daddy. / I haven’t written very well / But then you see I’m small, / But this is just a card to tell / You’re not forgot at all.’. Inset to his right is a head-and-shoulders photograph of a British soldier, whose cap badge appears to be that of the Nottinghamshire Yeomanry (Sherwood Rangers), the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, the King’s (Shropshire) Light Infantry, or the Durham Light Infantry. A message is written in an adult hand in black ink on the reverse. It reads: ‘To my dear Daddy, from your loving little son Gilbert, With fondest love & Ever so many kisses’. The printed information on the back states: ‘The “Firelight” Series No. 112 All British’. || A British sentimental postcard. || || Postcard || A British sentimental postcard entitled 'Ever thinking of my Daddy'.

A British sentimental postcard || This is clearly a well-handled postcard, being rather grubby and creased. Entitled ‘MEMORIES’, the posed scene shows a small girl, her doll discarded by her side, gazing intently at a framed photograph of a British soldier. The verse below reads, ‘DADDY’S photo, why don’t you talk to me and play, / Just like my own Daddy did, ’fore he went away ? / Still, I guess as you’re like Dad, you’ve got lots to do, / Maybe that’s why you don’t talk, tho’ I talks to you’. The name ‘MADELEINE ST CLAIR’ (presumably the author of the poem) is printed across the bottom. The printed information on the reverse reads ‘PRINTED IN BRITAIN’ and ‘BAMFORTH & CO., LTD., PUBLISHERS HOLMFIRTH (ENGLAND) AND NEW YORK / “PATRIOT” SERIES. NO. 1063. PRINTED IN ENGLAND.’. A message has been written in pencil in a child’s hand. It reads: ‘Dear Father, Just a line hoping you are well and happy and you are a long time letting me know when you received my letter. Mother ? if she can get Sarahs sic and Lily’s frocks made we are going to have our photos taken I am proud to hear you are alright So good night and god bless you xxxxxxx’

A A Nash, the artist whose name appears to the right of the armchair that he has depicted, created this image of a small slumbering girl. She is clearly dreaming of the British officer whose ghostly figure appears to be looking down at her. The scene is entitled ‘EVER DREAMING OF OUR ABSENT ONES!’, the French translation below reading: ‘Révant toujours au cher absent.’. The printed information on the reverse states, ‘Inter-Art Co., Red Lion Square, London, W.C. / “ELEVEN-O-FOUR” Series. No. 1104. / British Manufacture Throughout.’. || A British sentimental postcard || || A British sentimental postcard || Postcard
