141 Days: The Battle of the Somme The Tea Caravan Like soldiers anywhere and at anytime, those serving in 1916 had
money that they were always keen to spend. There were probably more
things to buy than you would think! Whilst writing paper could often be
obtained free of charge from the YMCA or Church Army Hut soldiers loved
to buy postcards to send home to their family and friends. Postcards
ranged from simple photographic cards, to romantic cards and embroidered
silk cards. There were cards illustrating some of the scenes of
destroyed towns and villages along the Front.
