Abacus Auctions
The phrase “necessity is the mother of invention” was never more apt than during World War II when a British army captain captured by the Japanese and interned at a prisoner-of-war camp in Thailand sent a secret message cleverly squeezed between two layers of a postcard to his wife back home.
On September 9, 1943, Captain Phil Rogers inscribed a 133-word message in micro-writing on tissue paper, which he then secreted between the postcard layers, alerting his wife to his fate.
