The majority of us will be very familiar with the distinctive postcards issued and sent during the First World World War. Whether it is a beautifully stitched silk card, evocative image of soldiers, ships or French villages, or an image of children or the village left behind, they all tell a story. 

Illustrated with postcards sent during the First World War, this talk shares the stories of air raids, lost love and how our ancestors faced the challenge of surviving the war and beyond. We are delighted to welcome back speaker Helen Baggott, who once again shares uncovered stories from the past.

This is the second of three talks in the Spring Potpourri Talks Series. The other talks take place on 23rd April and 25th June. You may book tickets for individual events or for all three talks in the series for a reduced price.
