Behind enemy lines: description based on a true account

This postcard was sent by Titanic’s chief wireless operator, Jack Phillips, on April 6, 1912. It sold for £15,000 at Henry Aldridge & Son’s auction, making it one of the world’s most expensive postcards. The postcard is addressed to Miss Elsie Phillips, one of Jack’s older sisters.
