A real photographic postcard of a young German soldier holding a cigar, perhaps posing for this photograph outside the family home before setting off to war.
On the front of this postcard is a handwritten message made by a New Zealand soldier who came across this helpless soul on the battlefield;
"This is the Hun I got most of these P.C.s (post cards) from. He had a bad wound in the back & he gave me his P.C. for dressing him."
The names and fate of both soldiers is not known.
