With this month containing Valentine’s Day, this seemed appropriate.
“Hearts of Oak,” A British Jack Tar in landing kit, with a Lee type rifle, circa the early 1900s.
Color-tinted postcard, with a patriotic poem, published by Millar & Lang, Glasgow & London. Naval History and Heritage Command. NH 100803-KN
“They swear they’ll invade us, these terrible foes,
They frighten our women, our children, and beaus;
But should their flat bottoms in darkness get o’er,
Still Britons they’ll find to receive them onshore.”
