The extraordinary phenomenon of the war postcard  – reflections of the full range of responses to the most murderous and ghastly of all wars.  The chapters herein include: story postcards, military subjects, heroism and agony, religious themes, humour, animal and field postcards – even those embroidered with silk and very beautiful still today.  Even propaganda is represented.   Almost three hundred post cards are reproduced – individual historic documents of a bygone age.  Photos in colour and black and white.
