Just been having a look, can I add if you go on 'Postcards' on Ebay, there are a lot of WW1 postcard/photos of soldiers... it's well worth a look , for eg this one

I had a look at this there was a photo of an 1821 envelope, posted in Grenada, addressed to one of my relatives in Scotland - unfortunately they are asking over 700 GBP!!
So much for collecting family-related items!
