WW1 Canadian CEF 7 Button Photograph Postcard 5 1/2″ X 3 1/2″

This is a World War I-era photographic postcard featuring a Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) soldier wearing the standard 7-button service dress tunic used during the conflict. Measuring approximately 5 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches, the postcard format was common for personal and official correspondence in the early 20th century. The soldier’s uniform is indicative of early-war Canadian army equipment, with insignia, cap, and belt visible. Such postcards provided a means for servicemen to send images home or for families to retain a visual record of those in service. The reverse side is typically formatted for address and message, though specifics may vary. This item offers insight into the appearance, attire, and photographic practices of Canadian military personnel during the First World War. The postcard’s standard dimensions and image clarity reflect photographic technology and printing methods available at the time.
