EMBROIDERED postcards and silk bookmarks were popular with First World War soldiers who often sent them home from the Front. These items became cherished keepsakes of sweethearts and families - even more treasured to those whose men never returned. David P Whithorn is President of Bus to Bradford - a group of City fans who research and commemorate former players who served in the 1914-18 war. The group takes its name from a village in northern France called Bus-les-Artois where many Bradford men were billeted before marching to the Somme. The village they called ‘Bus’ offered a last taste of leisure - a beer and card game in the estaminet and watching silent films on a screen set up in a barn - before marching to the battlefields.
