Great detective work. <br />It happens that I've been reading a lot about WWI and can recommend a great book ~To End All Wars~ by Adam Hochschild, which skillfully links the stories of individual people into the history and period. It is in my personal Top Ten best books.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070420212032798639.post-66179196900715335352012-06-16T08:32:12.181-07:002012-06-16T08:32:12.181-07:00Hi Nancy, you really did well to find so much info...Hi Nancy, you really did well to find so much info out of that postcard!
