David F Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Hi guys,Here is the start of my Imperial postcard collection.I have picked up a couple over the last year and have decided to let you guys see it.It is not a big collection but i am now leaning towards collecting CDV cards.Here is the first onemight look a bit familiar to some as i have posted it elsewhere on the forum.
David F Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 this picture is the largest in my collection at 10.5cmx 16.5cm.a great clear picture and shows his regiment numbers on his shoulder boards,which is 74.Any help as the card is dated 11/4/1915 on the back
David F Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) this is another large picture that is 10x16cm.again a nice clear picture showing his shoulder boards quite clearly.Looks like they hvae a crown on the top but i am not quire sure Edited July 20, 2007 by David F
David F Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 this one is quite a strange size as it is only 8 cm wide but is 17 cm long.
David F Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 this is my favourite cdv.A proud soldier with his EK 2nd class
David F Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 and now onto the head and shoulder shots.I don't know if these are older .
David F Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 that is the end of my cdv's.Now onto the postcards.I only have a couple of these.As i have said i am now starting to get into my cdv's and i hope my collection grows throughout the year.
David F Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 here is a postcard that was used.Anyone have any idea what it says??if you need a closer scan the please let me know.Here is the front.
David F Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 here is the back .It is dated 15/11/1914.Little did he know that the war he was entering would last another 4 years.I wonder if he survived?
