Piece of a Calendar

[Wouter J]

Now who still has one of these?

My greatgrandmother kept this. May 10, 1940 is the day the Germans invaded the Netherlands. Next to the big, black '10' she wrote with a pencil; '1940, in the morning the war broke out'. (Although she wrote it in Dutch!)
The text in the box is fitting; Know me o God! And know my heart!

I hope other members ca share such interesting items. Thank You Don Boyle
