Historical information

There is also one card from Ike – assumed to be Ike Primmer, an uncle by his marriage to Ida Anderson sister of Daisy’s mother.
There are seven envelopes addressed to Miss Daisy Vickers, Bushfield Post Office.
Daisy was born in 1907, so would have been a young girl of about ten years.
There are nine cards – Arthur’s were sent from France and Belgium, Ike’s from Glasgow. The messages are simple. There are three embroidered cards. Some of the messages are responses to Daisy who must have sent letters or cards to her uncles.
Daisy Vickers/Ogier was a long serving, much loved and respected teacher and senior mistress at Warrnambool Technical School.
The cards bring to life the family ties, the need for contact, and the difficulty of communication of a distant time.
