The cinderellas and the nice, clear meter on this French postcard are what first caught my eye.
I often Google the names on cards and covers while browsing, especially when one looks to be unusual enough to find specific information. Certainly, A.D. Bestebreurtje is an uncommon name, and I was not disappointed!
This newspaper article from June 1977 profiles “Dr. B.”, the pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville, VA, on the eve of the premiere of the award-winning film A Bridge Too Far.
Supplementing that with this translation of the Dutch Wikipedia entry for “Captain Harry”, I’ve discovered a fascinating man who played an important part in history.
And all because I thought those poster stamps from France looked nice.
