That one shot in the bullseye had made it a memorable day at the rifle range for this unknown seaside holidaymaker.

Perhaps taken home to be shown to friends and acquaintances, then many years later, on their demise, found among their effects by a son or daughter, who maybe didn't quite see the value of this grubby piece of card and put it in a box to go to the charity shop. Such is ephemera.
