Military Postcard: Devon Regiment Transport Fricourt 1916 Ernest Brooks RR23743

The front of the postcard features a monochrome photographic view depicting an exhausted soldier resting in a muddy field during wartime campaigns near Fricourt, France. The military composition captures the uniformed serviceman lying flat on the churned earth while using a resting horse as a pillow, positioned beside heavy transport wagons with large wooden artillery-spoked wheels while other draft horses stand picketed across the background.

This piece of historical ephemera serves as an authentic example of late 20th-century military history photography postcard publishing. The visual composition highlights traditional black and white archival printing techniques and classic wartime documentary portraiture popular among modern history publishers, making it highly relevant for collectors specialising in World War I history, British army logistics, Devonshire Regiment heritage, the Battle of the Somme operations, and historical photojournalism.
