I've had a copy of this image of the Butte, Polygone Wood for quite a while

Although not postcards, more recently I've come across these paintings by the war artist George Edmund Butler in the New Zealand National Collection of War Art. An area which, if not physically, at least on canvas,  he clearly revisited several time -  The final image, dated 1920, is perhaps the most poignant, and possibly the one the earlier paintings had been  leading up to.

(a listing of all Butler's war work held by the collection can be found here http://warart.archives.govt.nz/taxonomy/term/182/?page=8)

Dranouter.

The flag on the German cemetery doesn't predict any good for the future.

Hi Cnock

What a fantastic collection you have there.

Have you ever contemplated the thoughts of publishing them in a book?

 

Regards

John

Hello John,

thanks for Your comment,

until now I published some 12 books about WW1 subjects, but never thought of publishing post cards in a book.

I am more a collector of original WWI photos.

 

regards,

 

Cnock

The 3rd last pic is most interesting; a steam engine lying on it's side with multiple perforations in the smoke stack and the boiler blown apart!

I think it may be a traction engine or threshing engine rather than a steam loco on a railway
