    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!
