To celebrate my forthcoming book, Postcards from the Front: 1914-1919 (due out next Spring), each day from now until Christmas, I will be posting on this blog, postcards from the First World War with their messages home. Click on the picture to be taken to an external website which will be of First World War interest. Each day, the link will take you to a different website and, hopefully, help you discover resources new to you. Just like a traditional advent calendar, you’ll not know what you’ve got until you’ve opened (or clicked) the door.
My Advent Calendar is my Christmas gift to you. Happy Christmas!

Dear Maggie, I am very pleased to hear you enjoyed your holidays & had a good time. I have never received the card you sent me. I am afraid it has got lost. With a bit of luck I may be home sometime next month so don’t be surprised if I come into the shop. Yours sincerely Bert.

10 June 1916 – This is the fiddling animal about which I told you. I that it doesn’t claim to be so old as I thought but it is quite old enough to be respectable. I got back here yesterday, feeling very sad. But I enjoyed every hour of my all to short leave and both D and I were very glad to see you all & most grateful for all your many kindnesses.

.. Quite a warm time of it. I can tell you; was brought down a few miles from here, we hear. We had a beautiful storm again yesterday & I mingled with the Guns, this music & effect was not at all comfy, still one must always look out from some wet apparel in the Country. Its a good job you make yourself satisfied with these postcards, cos I’m thinking it almost impossible to write a letter, as we are so handicapped in the newsvendor line. Best love Frank xx

My dearest, we have landed at Folkstone. I believe we are crossing this afternoon but am not sure. Yours with best love, Bob
