“Don’t worry, I’m quite comfortable at SITTINGBOURNE” was drawn by Suffolk artist Reg Carter. Sittingbourne saw many different battalions from a wide range of regiments passing through during the War, not just local regiments; for example the 1st Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment and the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry were billeted in the Town. We have located this postcard at Gore Court Park as that was an Army Training establishment but this is a generic humorous card not a representation of fact.
