They come from France, Belgium, Egypt and Syria and were souvenirs for our family back home, particularly the great aunts who were teenagers at the time in WW1. They are very special - various postcards were sent back with them with some of the details where they were bought. It is interesting that the WW2 items from Egypt look very much the same as the WW1 ones! Also saved was the program for the first ANZAC commemoration in Sydney in 1916 and the Armistice commemoration in 1918. Thank you for a very interesting blog!
