Hello all
Can anyone explain the background of this card and handshake please? It's rather ironically emotive, since the reverse is from a chap who writes'.. I am in the trench now and I can't say much..'. August 28 1915

Any recommendations as to how to list it would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm adding a scan of the back. Many thanks for those of you who have already taken the trouble to have a look.

Hi,

To my opinion this is just a World War I fantasy card, symbolizing the 'brotherhood' between the allied forces.
Left a British soldier (?); right a soldier of another army.
So the two persons are not especially known or famous; they merely symbolize two nations.

Best regards,

Quasar

Yes, I can see that the background is not real. It is a studio picture.
Thank you, Quasar.

Best wishes to Belgium!
