of these cards were hand written to their families back home in Blighty
(Britain)and on the reverse they say "On Active Service".Sadly many
of the card writers never went home again, as they were killed in action
against the German invaders. These cards are an Historical record of
the terrible conditions our Soldiers endured in the Trenches, written
in their own hand.

now convulses Europe" Belgium paid a terrible price,the beautiful
country was laid waste,harvests that were ready trod into the ground,the
villages given up in flames.The Belgium cities have been anhialated,a
country in utter desolation,a complete nation in ruin.A little kingdom
that kept the pledge and died for it." The colour plates inside are
wonderful,even though the actual cream hessian cover of the book is a

plate entitled "UNCONQUERABLE"etc.£50 GB pounds |
