An addendum to my previous postcard post, (because it’s me and I had to see what I could find!) images from Pirton local history group who may be interested in the postcard. John Edward Thrussell, postmaster and boot maker/repairer, born 1885, writer of the card!
A fantastic snapshot of the past, with a connection to Lichfield. So why was John in Lichfield in 1917? The postmark is ‘Whittington Barracks’ and John served in the First World War, I think we have it!
Another sent postcard post to follow!
