This is a post WWI snuff box brought home as a gift for his wife from France by Elam Birdsong. My great great grandfather who served in WWI as a doughboy. He was stationed in France. This is the note that was found in it when we found it. Lillie Miles was Elam's sister. She was the one who wrote the note. This was the oldest item that we still own from my father's side of the family. There was a house fire at my grandfather's house where the majority of our family's background papers were. They were never recovered.
