Camaraderie: Jolly Fine Company (1)
During the war images of camaraderie would become very common. That message is foreshadowed in this card depicting a policeman, a soldier, and a sailor, playing cards.

Camaraderie: Jolly Fine Company (2)
“Dear Annie, I was not able to get off from the work until Friday night as we are busy. If I send you a post card from Sheffield you would not get it untill Sunday so ask young Cardwell to get it for you. I hope to have such a good time. Love to all your first brother Ward.”

Victorian Sensibilities: Sailor Dance (1)
Although notions of Victorian reserve and decorum are common this card demonstrates a show of raw emotion on view for all to see. From the message and image on the front to the expression of love on the back, Miss Wing’s correspondent was unabashed in letting her, but also anyone who handled the card prior to final delivery, know how he felt. A postcard had occasioned something very novel – the capacity to express emotions across distances.
