EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Wartime Connection: Soldiers' Postcard Choices, 1916" During the tumultuous years of World War 1, maintaining a connection with loved ones back home was of great importance to soldiers. One of the most common means of communication was through postcards. The following text outlines the options available on a typical wartime postcard, printed circa 1916, for soldiers to send home. [Image: A photograph of a postcard, featuring a soldier in uniform, standing in front of a barracks or military camp. The reverse side of the card is visible, displaying the text options.] I am quite well (retain): A simple and reassuring message, meant to alleviate any concerns about the soldier's health. I have been admitted into hospital (retain): A more serious message, informing the recipient that the soldier was receiving medical attention. I am being sent down to the base (retain): A message indicating that the soldier was being transferred to a less dangerous area or given a temporary reprieve from the front lines. I have received your letter (retain): A message confirming that the soldier had received a letter from home, often followed by a brief response. Letter follows (retain): A message indicating that a longer letter was en route, usually sent when the soldier had more time or when there was more to share. I have received no letter (retain): A message expressing disappointment or concern, meant to encourage the recipient to write. No additional messages are allowed (delete): A warning that any other messages, beyond the pre-printed options, would result in the card being destroyed to maintain security and prevent sensitive information from falling into enemy hands. These pre-printed options allowed soldiers to quickly and efficiently communicate with their loved ones, providing reassurance and maintaining a sense of connection during the challenging times of war.
