    WW2 British deathcard


    Recommended Posts

    Hi,

    I have been collecting German deathcards recently, but didn't know that they were produced in Britain too. Bought the attached card at a market on Sunday, and was very surprised at how similar it is to the German deathcard, the format is strikingly similar.

    Thought you may like to see it.

    I reckon that's brilliant, what you need now is a return trip to Holland to take a pic of his grave. Saw a British Great War death card a while ago but was too tight to dip my hand into my pocket.

    How much was the WW1 deathcard you saw then Tony? Not that I've got any, unfortunately!
