A unique opportunity to collect all 62 covers in this highly regarded and decidedly collectable series produced in 1998 to mark the 80th anniversary of the Great War.

Rimmer veteran of the 1st and 2nd Battles of Passchendaele; Chales Culshaw, Air Telegraphist, veteran of the Battle of Verdun; Marine George Smith, Royal Marines Light Infantry, veteran of the Balkans campaigns; Rt. Hon. The Earl Jellicoe commander of the English Fleet at Jutland 1916 - signed by his son the 2nd Earl; Field Marshal The Earl Haig, Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force 1915-19 - signed by his son the 2nd Earl; Grand Duke Nicholas, uncle of Tsar Nicholas II and Commander-in-Chief, Russian Forces 1914-15 - signed by his grand-nephew Prince Ruslovov Romanoff; Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg Chief of German General Staff 1916-19 - signed by his grandson Hubertus von Hindenburg.
