    Congratulations David F. You have very interesting CDV's and postcards. I collect only W.W.I postcards and a few are portraits or groups. I love them. Curiously all the portraits and groups (exept generals) are german. As you have noticed, the mesages in the back sometimes as interesting as the photograph.

    Eduardo
