La Journee du Pas-de-Calais Charity card - WWI
A postcard relating to a charity drive in the Pas de Calais region in France, calling on to the generosity of the public. Repeated several times in about 700 communes in the department during World War I. Sold with a small floral pin (still attached). The smoke from the British troop ship arriving in France depicts the British Lion mauling the German Eagle - a nice bit of allied propaganda
