            The Postcard

A postcard that was published by S. A, Publishing Offices, 79 & 81 Fortress Road, London, N. W. Unfortunately they do not explain who the Italian Party are, or what they are doing there.

There is however a small Salvation Army logo on the back of the card which incorporates the words 'Blood and Fire'.

The card was posted in the UK on Monday the 10th. January 1916 to:

Miss O. Glover,
29, Whitfeld Road,
South Ashford,
Kent.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"Dear Olive,
Yours safe to hand.
I will come on Friday
morning. Be at Ashford
at about 10.
If I don't come this week
then I don't know when
I shall come.
Hope you are both quite
well.
Love from Dad, also 
Minnie,
Your Loving Aunt,
A. K."

The Artist Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz

So what else happened on the day that Olive's aunt posted the card?

Well, on the 10th. January 1916, Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz, who was  a member of the 1st. Brigade, Polish Legions, was killed in action at Kraków.

Tadeusz, who was born in 1852, was a Polish painter, known for his realist paintings, including events that occurred during the January Uprising of 1863.  

The Actor Richard Münch

The day also marked the birth in Giessen, Germany of Richard Münch.

Richard Heinrich Ludwig Münch was a German actor who is best known for portraying Alfred Jodl in Patton (1970). He also portrayed General Erich Marcks in The Longest Day (1962).

The Death of Richard Münch

Richard died at the age of 71 on the 6th. June 1987 in Málaga, Andalusia, Spain.
