Postcards sent from Walter to Sarah

Five postcards from England sent in the 1920's by Walter Spurgeon to his family (mother Sarah Spurgeon, brothers & sisters) who emigrated to California in 1915. All have been glued into an album, and later removed & given to Roy Spurgeon during his visit to the USA in 1968. Messages on the back of a couple of the cards seem to be in Walter Spurgeon's handwriting, and addressed directly to his mother. Later notes (names) on cards written by Joan Spurgeon.
