Canada
James Walter Watts was born in 1893, and worked in the Customs Office before the war. During the war, he was an observer with the RAF and seemed to have belonged to the No. 7 O.S.A., and then might have been a pilot. Written by James Walter Watts to his wife at 25 Gough Ave., Toronto Ontario, Canada
Function
Post card used during WWI and issued by the military. Post cards had printed statements from which the soldier crossed out the ones that didn't apply and left the one statement that corresponded to his situation. The post cards were heavily censored and only the date and signature were permitted. Post cards were used in the Front Lines as a quick way for the soldiers to write home.
