These World War One postcards belong to the House of European History collection; alongside other postcards lent by other museums, they are exhibited in the World War One gallery, showing how hundreds of thousands of young men from across Europe and beyond were sent far away from home. The items in this story show some examples of the transnational postal communication that was going on during the conflict through pre-edited templates, stamps, and something personal writing of soldiers sending news home.

Letter from the Front

2 Items

My Grand-Mother, Maria Fischer, came from Germany, Frankenstein (now Ząbkowice Śląskie, Poland). She married a Russian prisoner-of-war (1st World War) in 1920 and then they came to the Soviet Russia. I found this post-card among their documents: 1 Komp. I. Werft-Div, man-of-war's men's photo and text on the back side. I guess this post card is from her fiancé, Ernst, who died in this War. And he is on the Photo. After the War, Russian prisoners-of-war was staying (living) in Zadel, near Frankenstein. One of them was my Grand-Father. || Post card.

Quality Cards London’, ‘This card is printed in England.’, and ‘There’s a Davis Quality Card for every occasion.
