My Photo with Forth Bridge Backdrop

"Here are images of one of the postcards (front and back) that I found in my Great Aunt Emily's old album.

My Great Aunt has written on her album:  'HMS Tyne Postmen' and a date.  Although the date looks like 1914, I have a feeling that it  might be 1916."  The men's names, together with 'HMS Tyne' and a date are also written on the back of the postcard."
