POSTCARDS - WWI INTEREST 1914-15 group of cards, all with oval "GERMAN WAR / OFFICIAL FREE / PRINCE ALFRED'S GUARD" cachet on reverse, written by a soldier to his family. Some interesting detail within the messages which backs up the story found on the Prince Alfred's Guard Wikipedia entry - "Members of the PAG volunteered for service in World War I, but there was dissension in the ranks after a long deployment on sentry duty in Cape Town. As a result, the contingent was disbanded..." One card reads "Dear Mother, we marched into the Castle (Cape Town) here yesterday afternoon and are likely to remain here for the next 6 months." Other cards tell of target practice for a Naval Battle in Table Bay with the "...big guns at Lion's Battery..." Wonderful insight into the early part of WWI in South Africa (18 cards, 13 with messages). For more images, please visit https://www.sandafayre.com/itemdetails.aspx?s=588590
