'Super rare' WWI carrier pigeon message found in France

[FfFfFfFF 58,083]

A couple out for a walk in eastern France have discovered a tiny capsule containing a message despatched by a Prussian soldier over a century ago using a carrier pigeon.

The message from an infantry soldier based at Ingersheim, written in German in a barely legible hand, detailed military manoeuvres apparently during the first world war and was addressed to a superior officer, said Dominique Jardy, curator of the Linge Museum at Orbey in eastern France.

It is assumed that the letter in the summer of 1910 was sent by an infantry regiment officer to his commander and concerned maneuvers in Alsace, then part of the German Empire.

The message reads: “Platoon Potthof receives fire as they reach the western border of the parade ground, platoon Potthof takes up fire and retreats after a while.

The 2020 find was exhibited at the museum.

It's amazing. After all these years, we get to find traces of a previous time. 

I can already think about those lucky people in 3020 that will enjoy those ancient tunes, and in the CD it says ARTPOP ACT II (Not to be listened until 3021)
