7 postcards, c. 1917
Interesting WW1 postcards. Five relate to German atrocities in Belgium, including photos of Gabrielle Petit who was murdered as a spy, - like Edith Cavell, but actually WAS one. Two are different: photographs of disinterred German soldiers (Quite gruesome) one of whom was shot ‘for refusing to fire on the nurses’ and another who was shot ‘while preparing a false passport for a Belgian who wished to go to Holland’.
