Postcard arrives 94 years late

A postcard arrived 94 years late at the wrong address in Britain.

Soldier Alfred Arthur, then 19, wrote to his sister Nell in January 1916 from his camp in Newhaven, East Sussex, the day before he was sent to France.

However, the postcard did not arrive before Alfred died two years later at the Hindenburg Line at Grecourt and Nell died in 1964.

In the end it arrived opposite its intended address in Norwich.

It reads: "Dear Nell, just a postcard to let you know I have not forgotten you. On the other side you will see our orders for next week. Poor me, I shall need your pity. Drop me a line, from brother Alfred."
