To make a break with research location, I want to start a discussion about the postal war. You are experts in the Military Post and hope you can explain.

I have in my collection some postcards that have been sent by the military to their families. Curiously, the pictures are dead soldiers, very macabre pictures, and in the text written to the family the soldier says he is healthy and he is doing well. Why were they sending such pictures?

I do not even want to think how the families have responded!

I think it's a form of propaganda. The images from the strong and cruel content had to show superiority to the enemy.Riccardo.

I agree with Riccardo: it is like saying "Look what we do to the enemy, we are the winners!"

Interesting. Although these letters went to the family. I do not even want to think how they reacted when they received something like this from the front.
Thank you all for the explanation.

Hi all,

I have now a map with geo location from places we together found. Thank you all.

Very good Andrei: unfortunately I cannot understand Slovenian so the video clip remains very obscure to me, but from the pictures I see a very nice exhibition. Congratulations for the result!
