Sorry Paul.
Nothing on the reverse of either postcard. Never posted so no postmark for date etc except the

That's a huge salmon Mr Cholmondley-Warner has caught - what-ho!

I'll go with Paul on this one. Very 1930/40s to my eye....

Another vote for 'tween wars. The way the chap is holding his gasper is a real give-away.
