'Fred'
Lucas
In 2004 a collection of
postcards was offered to the
Friends of the DLI Museum. They had been sent by the
soldier in this
picture to his family while he served in France and Italy during the First
World War.
'Fred' Lucas came from
Gateshead and had grown up there, eventually working as a
shipping clerk.
His son was called Fred, too, and his postcards show how he tried to keep
in touch with his
growing
son's
school work, hobbies, pets, health and so on.
The family were involved
in running the The Black Horse Inn in Kell's Lane, Low Fell and
Fred also worried
about the business problems.
Basic details are known about Fred's family but we need to know
more. Can you help?
