I am especially interested in collecting accounts of people on the Home Front who held seances to contact loved ones who had died in the First World War, either through visiting fortune tellers, gypsies, or spiritualist mediums. Also I am interested to find any diaries, letters or photographs which may be useful to my research. Any lucky charms or talismans, lucky pennies or mascots or stories relating to them much appreciated.

I've often wondered how succussful they were in providing good luck to those who carried them so it's nice to hear of a successful story. They're such unique little items it's always good to hear of another one out there. Many thanks. Hi Jon
