Since our visit at the Museum on Thursday, I found the detailing and the style of postcards from World War One really fascinating. Some where hand drawn, with messages of well wishes and seasons greetings. Others included photographs or paintings or even a comical message to loved ones back home. I think incorporating all these styles into our storyline of postcards will add more depth to  our project and show a true reflection of the era. The internet has quite a few websites on War postcards which will help us and give us more guidance.

Below are a few links I found really useful and showed a wide variety of postcard ideas we could use.

Also found a section on Ebay with silk postcards for sale, as making these look rather technical and hard we could always re-use one of them, as more of a collectors item.
