The listing states 'postcard unposted', so I'd like to think not. There doesn't seem to have been any image available of the rear, though I'd assume that anybody willing to bid to such a level would possibly have requested further pictures.

It does seem to be in remarkably good nick. Congrats to the winning bidder though

Would the picture be of Pte. William Buckingham, perhaps? VC for 'conspicuous acts of bravery and devotion to duty in rescuing and rendering aid to the wounded whilst exposed to heavy fire, especially at Neuve-Chapelle on 10th and 12th March 1915' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Buckingham
