Aggressive Badge Bulldog Bulldogs Corps Patriotic Patriotism Postcards Regimental Symbol
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard from 1918 showcases an aggressive and defiant British Bulldog standing proudly next to the badge of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), a precursor to the Royal Air Force (RAF). The image was created during a pivotal moment in history, as the First World War was drawing to a close and the RFC was on the verge of being reformed into the RAF, marking the birth of the world's first independent air force. The Bulldog, a symbol of British strength, tenacity, and courage, was a popular emblem of patriotism during the war. The image on this postcard conveys the spirit of determination and resilience that defined the British people during this tumultuous period. The RFC badge, featuring a falcon in flight above the motto "Per Ardua Ad Astra" (Through Adversity to the Stars), further emphasizes the connection between aviation and the indomitable spirit of the British people. This postcard, with its powerful imagery and historical significance, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and triumphs of the First World War. It is a testament to the enduring symbolism of the Bulldog and the RFC/RAF badge, which continue to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
