Hello Frank,
Just had a quick count, 98 in total.
Included within the memorials are postcards of South African towns and places associated to the war.

Frank,
Yes that is a little obsessive, but they are nice to collect particularly when posted because you also get a storey :lol:
Good to buy when you run out of medal funds :blink:

Hi Paul,
I think it depends on how much you are paying for them, there is money in old postcards and plenty of collectors, but, they can be had for what is now very little money, I quite like them.
