EDITORS COMMENTS
Two evocative postcards, each bearing the distinctive artwork of R. Cattey, offer a glimpse into the past during the tumultuous period of the First World War. The cards were sent by Jack Jennings, a soldier serving in the 11th Devonshire Regiment, to his brother and mother. The first postcard, addressed to his brother in the military, features a poignant scene of a soldier standing at attention before a cross adorned with poppies and roses. The somber image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices being made on the battlefield. The reverse side bears the handwritten message, "Dear Brother, Just a line to let you know I am still in the pink. Hope you are the same. Love Jack." The second postcard, addressed to his mother living at 29 Holloway Street in Exeter, showcases a more hopeful scene. A young woman in a red dress and a man in military uniform stand together, gazing into each other's eyes beneath a tree in full bloom. The image conveys a sense of longing and hope amidst the hardships of war. The reverse side reads, "Dear Mum, Just a line to let you know I am still in one piece. Wish you were here. Love Jack." These postcards, sent over a century ago, offer a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the historical events of the First World War. The commemorative art by R. Cattey adds an emotional depth to the messages, making them cherished keepsakes from a bygone era.
