More Cards.

Well it's been a few days since I last posted a blog. Things have been a bit hectic both at work and home. So I will keep this short and sweet. The following (shorter) series of cards are from both World Wars and belonged to both Eva and Isabelle.
I have only just realised this as the first card has text on from Isa to her husband, as far as I am aware Isabelle was only married to Edward so the date of this card is between 1915 and 1917.
The first cards are 'Midget Message Cards'. No hand written text on the reverse sides and no makers/printers details, all there is is the afore mentioned title and in small lettering'Presented with "The Red Letter".
If enyone knows what a Red Letter is please let me know.
Both cards do have text on the front, the first card has in ink 'From your loving wife Isa'.

The second card also has text on the front, this however is in pencil and very faint. The writing on this card is larger and less delicate but appears to be of the same hand.

Both cards are reproduced at actual size.
