Postcard sized, sepia, real photograph taken in a French photography studio in Amiens of two soldiers, which says on the back, 'taken near Amiens, France 1916'.
On their caps are the badges for the East Yorkshire Regiment, they are wearing puttees, both have insignia of crossed Flags (Union Jacks?) on their left sleeves showing they are Signallers.
It shows Charles Verity on the right, he was a member of the East Yorkshire Regiment, his Army no. was 13/267, and he was a member of a 'Pals' Regiment. On the back of the postcard it says that he is with his friend George Williams, but looking at other photographs of him I don't think was him as he was blonde with feint eyebrows, he does have a caste in his eyes like him though. I wondered if the other man was his brother, but cannot find anything to substantiate this, looks like he was a 'brother-in-arms' only.

Local High Street Studios
Although the large commercial companies churned out tens of thousands of RPPC's during the conflict, it was mainly local high street studios and roving photographers who were responsible for the majority of 'personalised' ww1 real photographic cards that we see today. The images were printed directly from a negative onto photographic card with a 'postcard' back. Each image was printed by hand and usually in small numbers. For example, a portrait study of one man in uniform would merit perhaps half a dozen copies at most, which he would send to friends and relatives. Nevertheless, an image depicting a small group of men - perhaps from the same billet or unit - would obviously put a little more money into a photographers’ pocket.
the reverse of some Real Photographic Post Cards were details of the photographer or studio that produced the card and an address. (Like the card shown above.) But having these details printed on the reverse was an extra cost and not all studios did so.
Alternatively, information was scratched on the negative before printing - with various degrees of success. Occasionally, an embossed mark was put on the card after hand printing, or the firm’s rubber stamp was applied. Perhaps, around fifty per cent of ww1 studio and ‘street’ portrait postcards carry these details - the rest remain anonymous.
