A British soldier's family of six photographed in south-east London.
The printed information on the back of this photographic postcard informs us that the family of six pictured on the front visited a studio in south-east London in order to sit for their family portrait: ‘Portrait by Ed. Sharp, 221 Westminster Bridge Road, S.E.’, it states. The oldest boy has duplicate versions of his soldier–father’s cap badge and shoulder title pinned to his left lapel as sign of support, which confirm that his father was serving in the Army Service Corps when this photograph was taken. It looks as though his younger brother, who is standing between him and his father, is similarly wearing a cap badge and shoulder title on his right lapel.

Stamped on the back of this real photographic postcard is a number – ‘96500’ – and the name and address of the photographic studio that produced it: ‘CAMPBELL GRAY, PHOTO, 88 EDGEWARE ROAD, W London’. Posing solemnly with their parents, the two army children in the photograph appear to be teenagers. Their soldier–father’s uniform looks well worn; it is not possible to make out the details of his circular cap badge. || A real photographic postcard. || || Photograph || A photograph of a British soldier's family photographed in west London.

A photographic postcard. || Printed on the back of this photograph of a family of six is the name and address of the studio that produced it: ‘Photo by TAYLER Bros., Swanswell Studio, 20 Primrose Hill St., Coventry then in Warwickshire’. Four children and their parents posed for their family portrait. The soldier–father’s cap badge appears to be in the shape of an eight-pointed star, and may be that of the Army Service Corps. Both his cap and his wife’s hat suggest a date from 1917. || || A British soldier and his family photographed in Coventry || Photograph
