WW1 knitting - comic postcard, Naughty Netta

Naughty Netta's Knitting Knickers for the Seat of War. Humorous postcard inspired by the national effort of knitting comforts for soldiers during the First World War. A small girl gazes mournfully up at a photograph of her highland soldier sweetheart while knitting some rather uncomfortable looking woollen knickers. In khaki wool of course
