Flowers are placed on a table in the immediate foreground. Postmarked (Patricroft, Eccles) and stamped. Message on reverse (ink) reads: 'Dear Mother, We shall be coming home on Wednesday night. Hoping you are all well and enjoying yourselves as we are having a nice quiet time over here with love from your son Albert.' Publisher unknown, but the rear of the card is marked with the initials 'BY', which may stand for a publisher.
