WW1 Unissued ‘Field Service Postcard’.

Field Service Postcards were used by soldiers on active service to send messages home without any need for censoring by officers. The purpose of the card was to reassure loved ones that their loved one was safe, alive, and well and to confirm that post was moving in both directions. The soldier was allowed to delete as appropriate from a selection of pre-printed options, if anything other than date and signature was added the card was destroyed.

I good overall condition with some foxing and minor sun damage to edge.
