Today in 1915 the last majority liberal government in the UK collapsed

The PM then was H H Asquith, who studied at #Balliol College Oxford, the subject of this #postcard

He continued as PM until December 1916, heading a coalition government, as was succeeded as PM by David Lloyd George, who caused the 1915 liberal government collapse

The card dates from WW1
