    Although this is an interesting object, can you explain in your description why it contributes to A History of the World and is more than a piece of family history"
    I am disappointed that you found a greeting from 1901 - Boer War irrelevant when you have accepted this contribution from the 1st World War - the fact that my letter is written on bullet paper, dated and sent from South Africa to a UK family is the same as these postcards.
