Description: | Photographic postcards of groups and individual British Army personnel from the First World War. These include the Signals Section of 2nd Mounted Brigade; Private P W Davy of 'C' Company, 9th Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers at Parkhouse Camp and Private W Boden of a Midlands Territorial Force Field Ambulance. There is also a group photograph of 10 women and one young man (the reverse of the print states: 'Ilford Limited's Duration Battalion of TIRED War Workers'. The reverse is stamped 'Republica Argentina'). Also included are two group photographs of men, a number of whom could well be wounded veterans from WWI. Finally there are two photographs from WWII. One shows a group of Royal Navy sailors on board ship (a note on the reverse states: 'Taken at Plymouth before sailing'), whilst the other print is of a VE Day street party in a terraced street.

One black and white photographic print with note handwritten in ink on reverse (dimensions: 90mm x 60mm) and one modern reproduction print taken from a black and white postcard (dimensions: 150mm x 95mm). | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Peace Celebrations Women at War 9th Battalion British Home Front 1939-1945 Royal Army Medical Corps VE Day British Home Front 1914-1918 2nd Mounted Brigade Communications Celebrations
