Postcard written to Mr. Prince's father in Leeds whilst he was posted at Ripon Army Camp between 1914-1918. It reads 'Dear Dad this is a postcard of the Old Hornblower of Ripon it is blown every night at 9 o'clock, it is a very old custom and a shop assistant told me that it had been in the man's family for 200 years'. I saw him blowing his horn last night, he was too drunk to hold up, from what I hear, he is often so, and one time he was sketched when in that condition, hence the postcard of him. He didn't half look comical at the side of a big monument, blowing his tremendous horn, he wears a three cornered hat.'
