Wish You Were Here, from Dave Breger

 

Here's a Private Breger card, Graycraft #306. Usually I find these postally unused, but this one went through the mails in 1944. It has quite a message on the reverse:

Two-in-One witch overzealous to read leaves finishes job on pa's lid. Stickum is useless. Prices in sewer. Don't let two-in-one witch forget this. 

  --- The Three Cupids

Did I just uncover some Axis plot that was organized via Private Breger postcards?

  1. What a profound,inspiring message. I think we'll all be better for it.
    The original date this panel ran was 29 December 1942, while Breger was still stationed "Somewhere in Britain."

  2. "Did I just uncover some Axis plot that was organized via Private Breger postcards?" Ha. That makes more sense than anything I can come up with.

  3. Hi Alan, what is the actual post date on the card? You might not be too far wrong if it is dated around June or a little after. If you are able to post the back, it would fascinating to see.

  4. The card was postmarked on November 8, sent between Moscow and Lewiston Idaho.
