It's a very interesting little bit of your family history and it looks to be in pristine condition. I would advise you to write a short description of what it is and enclose it in the card for future generations.

…among a load of all sorts of stuff I kept from my mother who died at 97 in 2015.

It’s a tiny little card, that evidently came with IIRC a tin of cigarettes and chocolate, that was sent to our soldiers during WW1. This was almost certainly sent to my paternal GF - I’ve seen old photos of him in uniform in the Middle East during WW1.
