Embossed on this photographic postcard is the name of the photographic studio, ‘E C Watling, 33, Jamaica Road, Bermondsey, SE London’. Presumably dressed up in her soldier–father’s trench cap and kit, the small girl wears a leather bandolier, water bottle and what looks like a haversack; the rifle is no doubt a toy prop. The cap badge is indistinct, but may be that of the Royal Artillery. || A photographic postcard showing a girl dressed as a British soldier photographed at a photographer's studio in Bermondsey, London. || || 51.49791140000001,-0.06617240000002766 || Photograph of a girl dressed as a British soldier. || Photograph || || Photograph of a girl dressed as a British soldier. || Photograph
