I'm rich!
Found in an old photo' album entitled, A Souvenir of the Great War. Amongst many postcards from the WW1 front lines and environs, I discovered a number of monetary notes collected by my family ancestors who fought on several continents, and brought them home as keepsakes.In good condition, I'm told one of these could be worth at least ...
a fiver.
They have little intrinsic value, but together with the postcard album and the family history that surrounds them, to me they are priceless.

Re: I'm rich!
Hang on to them Fruitcake. I still have a few "bits and pieces" that my grandfather brought back from Egypt during the first war and quite a few post cards that he sent home to his wife and mother from various places. I also had three big bound volumes of daily newspapers from that time. I think the newspapers were called, "War Record", but I can't precisely remember. These were lent to someone who really wanted to see them, and of course, they were never returned.
