It’s that time of the week where we take a look back at “old” Ballard.
This week we thought we would focus on some fantastic postcards of
Ballard back in the day.
“Cheer up, it will soon be over” were the words scrawled on a postcard sent to a house in Lochee in 1918. It was a message that must have been written on thousands of letters sent during the First World War but, in this case, the author George Finlayson was absolutely correct. It was sent on November 11, the very day the guns fell silent on the Western Front.
