Brief Description |
This landscape-format postcard is printed on card with a glossy finish and features a hand-coloured photograph of a military regiment accompanying a horse pulling a cannon and an officer on horseback, marching across English countryside with rolling hills in the background. A portrait of a young woman leaning on a fence rail in the top right corner represents her saying farewell to the troops.
The second verse of the song "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary" is printed on the bottom: "IT'S A LONG, LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY (1). / It's a long way to Tipperary, it's a long way to go; / It's a long way to Tipperary, to the sweetest girl I know; / Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester Square, / It's a long long way to Tipperary, but my heart's right there."
The postcard has not been filled out or posted and is one of a set of four.
