Picture Postcards From all Around the World: Poperinghe

Welcome to my blog!

Well, this is my second blog of postcards, the first one was created using mostly those from a family collection and as it became so 'addictive' I decided to start a whole new site.

The postcards should be of interest to all ages, race and religion as they are from many countries around the world. Postcards through the ages show how areas have developed throughout time and this site has both new and old postcards, I hope an interesting mix.

Every picture tells a story...just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Finally, if you want a better view of the pics, just click on them to enlarge

Poperinghe - Chateau de M Gaston Cooche

The ancient Belgian Town of Poperinghe
'suffered frequent bombardment' during the First World War

Written on reverse of card - "They are blowing this village up bit by bit, doesn't it seem wicked, it is done to try and catch our poor fellows going through"
