What do you all think of this death card? It's my first of its kind, and I like it a lot.
Death Card for RK Winner
Re: Death Card for RK Winner
Must admit i've never seen a wartime RK Death Card in this particular format , only post war , usually they have a photo of the RK , have you blacklighted it ??

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

It did cross my mind about it not having a photo of the winner. I tried the blacklight on the corners where it was separated some, and I did not notice a distinct glow as I have on other papers.by Paul E
