‘The Soldier’s Return’ Card

This beautifully designed card features a painting by the artist John Faed that portrays Robert Burns in conversation with a Black Watch soldier. The card is blank inside for your message and has the following lines from his poem ‘When Wild War’s Deadly Beast’, also known as ‘The Soldier’s Return’ on the back of the card:

“I left the lines and tented field where land I’d been a lodger

my humble knapsack a ‘ my wealth A poor but honest Sodger”
