WW1 Pictorial Edith Cavell EXECUTED by Germans Embroidered Silk Postcard. Edith Louisa Cavell was a British nurse. She is celebrated for treating wounded soldiers from both sides without discrimination during the First World War and for helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium. Cavell was arrested, court-martialled under German military law and sentenced to death by firing squad. Despite international pressure for mercy, the German Government refused to commute her sentence and she was shot. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
