Comic Vintage Postcard – “Going on the Front for a Bit!” – 1924

A wonderfully cheeky vintage comic postcard featuring the caption:

“Excuse short note, as I'm now going on the front for a bit!”

The colourful illustration shows a fashionable young woman seated at a writing desk beside an open window overlooking the sea. A gentleman can be seen outside on the promenade.

The humorous wording gives this postcard a wartime flavour, although the card itself was posted in 1924, making it an interesting example of how wartime expressions continued to feature in popular humour after the First World War.
