Postcard showing Bombardier Arthur Williams, Royal Field Artillery, performing in the 4th Division Follies during the First World War. The postcard includes five images of Williams - one of him dressed in uniform, smoking a cigarette, and four of him doing a variety or music hall style act. The catchphrases 'Nothin' doin'', 'Wot a conjure', 'Some smile' and 'Got me Steve?' are written over the character headshots. The postcard was published by Ernest Williams, 30 Little Trinity Lane, London, and sent by Arthur Williams from a Field Post Office in July 1916 (likely to be on the Western Front)
