| Postcards of the Past |
| Another of those cities in Belgium and Northern France which were almost totally destroyed during the First World War. Ypres suffered more than most. Many of the older postcards inevitably are concerned with the damage caused. We have recently obtained quite a few "before and after" postcards and we hope to come across more not so intimately connected with the War ! For books and DVDs about Ypres and the Great War, see the Amazon advertisement at the bottom of this page. |
