100 years ago today. January 21st 1914.

A postcard showing Dorchester England, High East Street. with the King´s Arms hotel on the left. opposite the Dorset School of Domestic Economy & Cookery, educating 20 girls.

The card was written to Mrs H.J Norris, The Smithy, Holton, Wincanton, Bath on January 20th, and posted at 9.30 pm on January 21st 1914. Halfpenny stamp. Today 100 years ago, on the day.

And it reads as follows:
20-1-14
Am sending parcel with this post. I shall be glad if you will kindly send on handkerchiefs at once, as they are badly needed. Still cold here & dull. We are still busy. I am alright & hope you sell the rest.
With love from Walter.
Hilda was rough (ill) last week but is now better.

History is written.
And posted.
