Ricky - The Overlord Embroidery (13/24) - D-Day Museum, Portsmouth, England

Username: Ricky
Postmark: 7 July, 2022
Arrived: 19 July, 2022
From: D-Day Museum, Postmouth

Storied forums member Ricky sends in this impressive note as his first submission to the WW2F/FPS. The card portrays panel 13 of 34 of the Overlord Embroidery, from the Portsmouth D-Day Museum. I'm not sure if the card's size is evident in the embedded photo, but it is especially wide. A typical large postcard is 16cm (6.5") wide, this one is 23cm (9") wide, more akin to a standard envelope. Fairly surprised by, and appreciative of, the £1.85 postage required to get this sent across the Atlantic into the site P.O. box.

Not bad for your first entry Ricky!

The very friendly lady who works at my mailbox drop is well aware of the postcard system we have going and I told her to feel free to inspect them when they come in. When I walked in this past Tuesday, she said "Hey Otto, you got a huge postcard from Ricky in England." She was certainly correct.

I'll now expect to collect a complete set of the Embroidery as Rogues visit the museum.
