WW1 Souvenirs
|
Restriction: Only managers can edit Note: Though expensive to buy, embroidered silk postcards became one of the most popular ways for British soldiers to send their love back home during the Great War. There were a fantastic number of designs, generally patriotic or sentimental, all seeking to show the bright colours of the threads to their best effect. Flags, butterfly wings, bird plumage and rainbows featured strongly. Also embroidered – usually in a single colour - were a few words. They were originally sold in fragile, thin paper envelopes. So to safely protect them in transit, they were wrapped in an accompanying letter conveying the soldier's message, and placed in a further envelope, and sent home at no charge to the sender in military mail bags. So most 'WW1 silks' are unwritten, with no marks on the back, and do not bear a postage stamp.
