EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases an original envelope from the First World War era, addressed to Miss L Auerbach from her brother Albert Auerbach stationed with the Royal Fusiliers in Northern France. The envelope, postmarked on October 21, 1916, bears the distinctive red "Registered" stamp and the insignia of the British military's Field Post Office. At the time, Albert was likely engaged in activities on the Western Front, far from his London home. The handwritten address in Albert's neat script reveals the tender connection he maintained with his sister, Lucy, despite the great distance and the challenging circumstances of wartime. The envelope's age and history are evident in the yellowed paper, the faded ink, and the slight wear around the edges. The rubber-stamped date and postage stamps, bearing the image of King George V, add to the historical significance of this artifact. This poignant relic from the 1910s offers a glimpse into the lives of soldiers and their families during the First World War. The envelope serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served, and the enduring bonds of love and family that sustained them through the hardships of war.
