Description
-
This is a typical card issued to raise the spirits of the fighting men. On the front it says these are the "Loyal Lancs. Regiment cheering when ordered to the trenches." It is identified as an "Official Photograph. Crown Copyright Reserved." On the back it says in the corner of the card "Passed by Censor"; it is an Official War Photograph, Series IX, No. 67. "This inspiring picture shows men of the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment cheering gaily when ordered to take turn in the trenches," it says. Censorship was strictly enforced under the terms of the Defense of the Realm Act and the card is really propaganda for the homefront.
