| This unused postcard is in my possession, though I don't know who originally had it. Possibly my paternal grandfather who lost a leg through injury early in 1916.

| Ian, this is a superb postcard, beautifully illustrated. Have you any others? I'm fascinated by wartime postcards. |

| Sorry I managed to miss your question 'til now. This is the only such postcard I have, unfortunately. |

| No worries Ian.
The last time I collected postcards (originals of Cumberland and Westmorland but mainly of the Lake District in general from 1900 to 1950) I managed to get a great collection of bulk lots from ebay and I added them to the postcards landscapes gallery. If I wasn't so busy working on the wiki I would spend a little more time trying to find wartime postcards and start a proper collection, but that could get quite expensive. |
