Canadian
soldiers in World War I spent many long hours in the trenches just
waiting.
To help pass the time some soldiers like “Uncle Bill”
did embroidery. This particular embroidered post card was sent July
10, 1917 from France. Soldiers were not allowed to disclose their
exact location.
Bill was engaged to Nellie, the Aunt of Edna Elliott
( age 4 ). Bill never returned from France.
Another
kind of postcard was basically a form or fill in the blank style.
