There is a story within a story here, the cards to his Wife, Birthdsy cards to his Son and Daughter, butwas happy to see the Silk for Rouen, (My Grandfether died of Iinjuries from the Somme at Rouen Military Hospital), So! This chap must have been there? The card for 1918 suggested he made it home, But he could have sent this in January? But! the inclusion of a picture of him central to frame surrounded by the Silks suggest a different outcome perhaps?
So, from being glad to see the inclusion of a Silk for Rouen it has in fact now made me feel sad to see it in there! For the outcome is of him actually still being there and off not getting back Home!
Have a few more pictures of the main picture and of what I found in one of these Silk cards, will post shortly, I hope this has touched you as it has me, all the best billy
