I have a love for all things vintage, retro and antique. I spend my weekends trawling through car boot sales, table top sales and junk shops. I have a passion for old books, maps and anything musical.

Field Service Post Card

This is  bit of a cheat... I never bought this but I did find it hidden in a family post card album. This is a great of example of secrecy in the first world war. Nothing could be written on the card apart from selecting what is written for you. This dates back to times when contact was difficult... could you go to war and not be able to write home? I know I couldn't!
