The Embroidered Postcards
These really are delightful and beautifully made with the colours still as fresh as when they were sent from the Front Line nearly 100 years ago. Some of the cards were made with a flap with a small card tucked inside for a message. They would have been sent in an envelope which preserved the delicate embroidery.

Just a postcard to let you know that I have got back quite safe.

I am not been warned yet for over seas but there is a lot to go on May 10th. I will write soon. I remain your ever loving Joe. With best and fondest love.
