    Description

    A RPPC real photo post card of a WW1 fully ID'd British Solder, A. E. Brown, who was deployed and served in France.
    I am 100% certain on the ID of this soldier as I had and sold a medal of his earlier and just recently found this postcard from him.  I have included a photograph of the archive I obtained from the British registry which gives his full details of his military awards history so be sure to download a copy of this to keep with this postcard.
    I believe his unit was A. S. C. South Lancaster?  I also see Leister and maybe 5th R. W. Kent.  Also possibly 1184 Field Battery and 16th Rej. Btn.  Finally, one has Innis in it.
    I believe I also see a reference to him being a corporal and a lieutenant, and also there appears to be a discharge for sickness in 1915 or 1916.  And a restoration of medals in 1936.
    It is a pre-deployment postcard to his sweetheart in Coleby, Lincolnshire.
