I have one too which was given to me when my grandparents died. It was sent to my great grandmother, however mine is signed by someone named George to his mother. My great grandmother only had one son..my grandfather Fred. So I can't figure out who this is from or how she ended up with it.

I also have a Letter just like this with the envelope. Exactly alike. How do I know for sure if this is authentic? I came across it after my mother died. The envelope is stamped "Soldiers mail" and also has the Windsor stamp also on it. Could you please enlighten me as too if its worth anything? Thank you for your time.
