WWI Military - 1917 / 1918 Original correspondence of 17 covers (12 of which have letters), 47 Field Post Office postcards, 7 French WWII ruins postcards and a pair of photographs (presumably featuring the sender of this correspondence). All items are addressed to a Mrs. Southern of Todmorden, Ontario (Toronto), written by a Canadian soldier (Arthur Southern) to his mother during his military service from his landing in GB to his service in France. Also accompanying the lot is a Vimy, France sweetheart brooch, which was likely sent back to the mother from her son in France. Note, the condition varies in this lot, as much of the paper available at the time was of poorer quality. A nice original cache of correspondence from The Great War. Estimate
