Many thanks for your reply.  Absolutely no hurry.  I was notified you'd sent a a PM, but I can't find it (perhaps because I don't understand how rootschat PM works)
Anyway, get back to me at your convenience
Thanks again
Ruth

Hi Ruth

If you look at the brown bar above and click on MY MESSAGES you will see all the PM messages people have sent you.

You also get a notification when people reply to the post on this thread so if there is no Private Message it may just have been that

I looks like a template is used then the soldier's photo is turned into a postcard:

Same template...different soldier.

As a postcard collector...I have seen many variations of these.

Happy to be proved wrong Ruskie

There is something not quite right about the "mount" postcard. I think it may be a postcard showing all the services...navy, army and air (at least I think that is supposed to be a bi-plane on the right)

The cutout looks a bit strange the way it is cut around the plane... and I wonder if it was just an ordinary postcard with something in the centre that someone in the family has cut out to make it into a mount.

There are lots of examples of "united we stand" postcards if you google including this one which looks to have been produced with a photo of high ranking officer in middle.  My guess is the person has cut out the official picture and put their own in its place.
