10th September 1939 10th September 1939 1/1 Early WWII feldpost postcard (without FPN number) depicting a picture by artist St. Jarecki, titled 'Czarujace Tony' (Enchanting Tones). Ref. 10.09.1939 The postcard above displays an example of a 'tactical number' before the date, in this case '45'. This number has nothing to do with the actual identification number but is the corps or division number. These three-digit numbers were most often identical to the numbers of the divisions in action. In this case it could be XVII Armeekorps 45. Infanterie Division or XX Armeekorps Infanterie Regiment 45. Unsure of how these would be identified.

20th July 1939 20th July 1939 1/0 20th July 1939 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Many thanks for your letter. I am sure you are looking forward to you holydays. Brittany must be very nice. I hope you are having nice weather and you will be able to swim a lot. Here it is very hot. In fact we sit at home during the hottest time of the day. Luckily we go for a swim every day. That’s the only way to keep us alive. I wish it would rain. The flowers and trees are sad, with hanging leaves. The earth is torn and everything looked baked by the sun. You never experienced a Hungarian summer. It is impressive. The British girls who came here with Muck last year were more dead than alive. By the way, here is a sad news. I am afraid I must give up my plan of coming to England this year. I couldn’t start until 20th September and would have to be back by November. So it’s hardly worth the long journey. Besides, it is impossible to get a girl out as exchange. British people don’t seem to get over the war fright. I haven’t given up hope altogether, though I must admit my chance doesn’t look bright. I would have loved to meet you. Have you made up your mind about your hair? In February and March I used to wear it high up in the back. Some people liked it, some told me I looked like a scare-crow. I must admit it wasn’t comfy, and it gave a funny feeling of having been scalped by a Red Indian. Now I wear it like that (illustration opposite). It is quite good and easy to do. Of course I always have long hair, but I manage to turn it in so that nobody notices it. Muck has gone to Bavaria for a fortnight. Best wishes for your holidays.
