The poem is printed in portrait alignment on one side of a 14 x 8.5 cm postcard within red and blue ink borders giving a 'red white and blue' effect.

Mr. Chappell is known to his comrades as the "Bath Railway Poet." A poem such as this lifts him to the rank of a national poet.' Printed text on the reverse includes: 'FOR INLAND POSTAGE ONLY' and 'LONDON "DAILY EXPRESS."'

An attractive piece of First World War ephemera and propaganda. No other copy of this postcard has been traced. London: "Daily Express". Undated [1914].
