[British Flag]

A World War I recruiting postcard for the British-Indian Army.

[Recto, Translated from Gujarati-Bohri dialect] “You are our cause of existence. You symbolize and make us aware of our truthful rights. Under your banner and oath our soldier fights the battles with pride. For your sake the soldier gives his life smilingly. Upon such dear son of soils, the Lord showers his blessings.”
