For the Fate of a Soldier...

On Memorial Day we commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives in battle. Let's also remember the families who lost someone they loved.



Here are the backs of the cards in the same order.

  2. I'm sure it would be difficult indeed to leave the garden-like scene of the first card for the battlefield... Don't think that conjuring images of loved ones and places in the clouds of cigarette smoke of the second card would be so appealing today, just as the chaste kiss of the third would be pretty unlikely! I like those bi-planes overhead though-

  3. The first card in particular is just great, and nicely captures the sentiment of that era.

  4. Somehow postcards and that Great War just seem to go together the sweetness and innocence of the cards, the harshness and bitterness of the reality. As someone has already said : bittersweet.

  6. These are really very interesting cards. I guess I wouldn't think they would have made cards, but whatever would sell, they would create.
