Absent Correspondence Daddy Ephemera Jack Leicester Mabel Patriotic Patriotism Phillips Poem Separation Verse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant WW2 greetings card, titled "To Daddy," dates back to circa 1942 and offers a glimpse into the emotional depth of wartime Britain. The card, featuring a simple yet elegant design, is adorned with a Union Jack flag and the words "To Daddy" written in elegant script. The reverse side reveals a heartfelt verse penned by Mabel Phillips, expressing the longing and separation felt by a young girl from her absent father, who was likely serving in the military during World War II. The card's design is a testament to the patriotic spirit that permeated the UK during the war. The Union Jack flag, a symbol of national pride and unity, is prominently displayed, reflecting the collective sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The card's verse also speaks to the profound impact of war on families, as fathers, husbands, and sons were torn away from their loved ones, leaving behind a void that could only be filled with hope and the promise of a reunion. This ephemeral piece of correspondence provides a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the enduring power of love and connection, even in the most challenging of times. The card's historical significance lies not only in its design but also in the personal stories it represents, making it a valuable addition to any collection of WW2 memorabilia or 1940s ephemera.
