Wow. Some fantastic cards have been posted recently. Apologies that I didn't thank you all at the time, been a busy week or so. I will try and find some time to sit down at the scanner and put some more up. 

 

Thanks all

I've only just taken a real interest in silks. This one is great. I love the vibrancy of the colours, especially the Union Jack. Thanks

I like the silk one, too. It shows the crest of the Royal Artillery  with the Latin text "Where Right and Glory Lead", if I m not mistaken.

The German card reads: "On this territory I will emphatically put my helmet down."

Sorry G.W.F., can't help with the handwriting I'm afraid...can't make my own writing out at times!!

But the cards I like very much as so very unusual, can't say I've ever seen any similar.

 

All the best,

 

Dave.
