EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, titled 'God Save Our Gracious King,' captures the spirit of patriotism and devotion to country during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Dated between 1914 and 1918, the image portrays a determined woman in a khaki uniform, holding a rifle with a fixed bayonet, standing proudly before a Union Jack flag. The background is filled with a sea of waving flags and the words 'God Save Our Gracious King' are emblazoned across the top. The First World War, also known as the Great War, was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. It brought about unprecedented change to the world, and the sacrifices made by the people of various nations were immense. The war effort required the mobilization of millions of men and women, who answered the call to serve their countries with unwavering dedication and patriotism. This postcard is a poignant reminder of the fervor and determination that fueled the war effort. The woman in the image embodies the strength and resilience of the women who took on new roles during the war, often working in factories, farms, and even serving in the military in various capacities. The Union Jack flag, a symbol of British national pride, adds to the sense of unity and solidarity that defined the war effort. The title of the postcard, 'God Save Our Gracious King,' is a reference to the British national anthem, which has been in use since the late 18th century. The anthem expresses loyalty and devotion to the monarch and the country, making it a fitting symbol of the patriotism that was so prevalent during the First World War.
