signed 'HELEN BRADLEY' and with a fly (lower left), inscribed 'It was a rather warm November day/when I set off to book my orders, and I'd/got as far as Miles Platting when there's a bang/so loud I thought a Zepp had dropped a bomb. I/went out of my customer's shop to see what happened/-Goodness, everyone was dashing about, a Tram went past/laden with people. They were all going home. Everyone/was rushing home - why! Then I saw a Union Jack/- just a small one being pushed out of a bedroom window,/then a large one being fastened to the railway bridge. Then the/noise of great joy began. All the mill hooters went off and the/Church Bells rang out. "The War's over" everyone cried. It/was hard to believe, however, I decided to pack up and go/home, but I had great difficulty in getting on a tram, which/I managed with the help of a man. It was a day we shall/never forget. The 11th November. 1918.' (on a label attached to the reverse)
