We know that the family of three pictured on the front of this real photographic postcard visited the Lonnergan photographic studio on Woodsley Road, Leeds Yorkshire, for their group portrait, because the studio’s details have been stamped in the bottom right-hand corner. Although aspects of the little girl and her mother’s clothes and jewellery are notable, there is nothing to identify either the family or the soldier–father’s unit on either the front or back of the photograph. || A real photographic postcard || || A photograph of a British soldier and his family photographed in Leeds || Photograph
