A School or Sunday School?


The building behind could be either a church hall or a school. Looking at the children, there is such a variety of ages from two year olds up to fifteen and sixteen year old. Only the smallest child at the front has moved and is blurred but most have remained still enough to have their likenesses captured.

The stamp has been taken so there is no date.

The message in the space for communication is "I am having the most wonderful holiday and Ernie is behaving very well."
