Photographic postcard "YOUR DEAR OLD DAD WAS IRISH (1)
Illustrated coloured photographic postcard showing a young and older soldier standing on a quay next to a ship. The older bearded soldier is wearing many medals and leans on a cane. He has his other hand on the shoulder of the younger man. There is a dream image above the soldiers of galloping horses pulling a field gun. Beneath the image is the first verse of a poem/song “YOUR DEAR OLD DAD WAS IRISH” which tells of a Chelsea Pensioner telling a young recruit to remember his British ancestry when facing the foe – his father was Irish, his mother Welsh and his granddad Scottish. The reverse of the card is blank.
