Ron Clifton Posted 12 September , 2013 Share Posted 12 September , 2013 The centenaries are coming up. It is not surprising that newspapers (and the Daily Mail) are starting to jump on the "wagon, band, GS". Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelS Posted 12 September , 2013 Share Posted 12 September , 2013 It's about time (actually not, please) that the media again featured a very old postcard, sometimes from a WWI soldier, that has only just been delivered, giving a good chance to poke fun at Royal Mail. Dozens of such cards can be bought for a quid or two each at a postcard fair, so what a joke for someone to pop one through the letter-box of an address that still exists a hundred years later. Possibly like this one which, although I can't find a thread, is likely to have been discussed at the time Click Oddly, the case of an alleged immediately pre WWII postcard which 'reappeared' after 74 years was reported in yesterday's Telegraph (12th September; not available on line it appears) . According to the paper, this one, apparently describing a holiday trip, was addressed to John & Alice Thomas of 4, Albany Grove, Upper Dovercourt (an address that's since changed) was sent from Menton on the SE coast of France on June 23, 1944 and signed "Love Gordon and M" turned up at the Dovercourt sorting office recently.

Gunboat Posted 12 September , 2013 Share Posted 12 September , 2013 You are all a bunch of cynics - there is clearly something other worldly going on. Look at the trio of photos again. The one on the bottom with Ms Lambert leaning on her adverting board. Then expand the picture and look at the window just next to the white post box there is clearly the ghostly apparition of a human face and then just next to it is a hazy figure which is clearly a ghost in ectoplasmic form - or an Alien Grey! The truth is out there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eairicbloodaxe Posted 12 September , 2013 Share Posted 12 September , 2013 As usual, Sepoy was spot on. http://blogs.slq.qld.gov.au/jol/2012/08/ Scroll down and you will see him... not Driver Peel, but David James Garland. Of Perth. Not the one in Scotland. Wish I could take credit for finding it, but some clever person posted it on the DM website comments.
