Manchester Regiment Training Reserve Squad Original WW1 Postcard
Postally unused, the image has some interesting features including a cloth shoulder title "TR" on the soldier seated on the right. however, my favourite part of the image are the two moustachioed pipe smokers seated on the left. Twins perhaps? At the very least, brothers. Minor corner / edge wear but in good condition.
