Things in the mail

khaosworks posted this gem of a story earlier today. A British POW during WW II ordered a Rolex while in a prison camp. This post has pictures and the documents from the transaction, including a letter from Rolex telling him he Must Not Think of settling his account until after the war and the receipts for his payment sent via Lloyds.

An interesting series of documents from another place and time.
