I have a number of WW1 cards (most with messages) sent by a serving soldier. I dont know exactly how many I have yet as I was 'left' a bag of cards - approximately 400 of them (all dated between late 1890's to 1945) - by my late mother-in-law. Having looked through them briefly I can safely say there at least 20 of them - probably more.

How much would you be prepared to pay for them?

I am going to photo some of them soon, a couple are or from Aldershot, they are general photos of guys standing in a group for the camera, marching brigades on parade, some drawn, some of training grounds, will do photos and post them later today. I am just interesting in finding out about them and maybe selling them. I got them at an auction late November - there were around 578?.. for about 75 GBP total.

Sorry I enjoy seeing what they will go for on my eBay listings - the link is about somewhere on this forum.
I may have some more in the future but they've gone for now.. :)
