The final year digit is a question mark in the supplied note. This suggests a date in the 1930s, but the exact year is unconfirmed. The inscription names the group and setting; the names of other people have not been supplied.

Postcard reverse bearing handwritten Christ Church Gipsy Hill and 11th South Lambeth Group identification — Original reverse, IMG_2811.jpeg, displayed rotated. The photographer’s printed credit reads T. H. Everitt, The Studio, 65 Anerley Rd., Upper Norwood, S.E.; telephone Sydenham 1913. The telephone number is not a date.
