Recent find that has to be shared!
« on: Thursday 22 July 10 18:13 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I was recently extremely lucky to be given nearly 40 assorted items, all relating to family. A lot are letters written during WWI, there's also cards, invitations, postcards etc.
I figure others would love to see some of them, so here are the more artistic/colourful ones.
