Boxmoor House Hospital 1916 April 7 - additions
scanned at 300 dpi.
Two commercial postcards pasted-in. On top, a colour Union Jack flag
with a black-ink line drawing of a lion's head and mane. When you
look at the lines that make up the mane, they also spell (a bit like those
words supposedly in ice-cubes with "subliminal" messages) the names
"Canada", "India", "Australia", "New Zealand" and "African Colonies". At lower
left, Gothic lettering "The Glory of a Lion is his Mane". [My great-grandfather's poetry books make clear that he was very proud of being a colonist of
the great British Empire; his daughter seems to share the view.]
The lower postcard is a black and white photo titled "Felden Lane, Boxmoor".
