Our Postcards

In April, 1916, we commenced what has proved to be, I think, the most successful branch of our work, and that is the sending out of post-cards to the workers among the soldiers. This is a sample of the card we now send. On the front is my address.
THIS CARD IS SANCTIONED BY THE WAR OFFICE AUTHORITIES “The Firs,” Denmark Road, Exeter, England.
DEAR FRIEND,
If you have not a Testament and want one to fit your pocket, I will give it to you. Please fill in the space below with your NAME, RANK and UNIT, and post this card. Do not mention your Brigade or Division.
Yours for Christ’s sake, HEYMAN WREFORD.
Name, Rank and Unit....................
About six thousand of these Cards are filled in and sent every month.
for 30 /-we can send a Testament to one hundred Soldiers at the Front post free. Will you send one hundred? The fact that I have had given me in writing from the War Office their sanction to the distribution of these cards has given a wonderful impetus to this work. What led to this sanction being given is one of the marvelous evidences of God’s blessing resting upon our work. It is an evidence also that the heads of the War Office have the highest interests of the soldiers at heart. From colonels down to privates, I have had these cards sent to me for Testaments.

A Lieutenant asks me to send enough for four hundred men.
A Captain writes: ― “Will you allow me to thank you for the Testaments you are distributing among the men of my Company. I believe it is very much appreciated, and whether so or not the kind thought for them does much good. The recruits who have lately joined are an extremely nice lot of men.”
A Colonel constantly writes for Testaments for the men under his command. In the letters you will read what the N.C.O.’s and privates think of the post-cards.
