Dundee: WWI Time Capsule Sealed in 1921 to be Opened
by Guest Sat Jul 12, 2014 6:23 pm
A Great War time capsule put together by Dundee postal workers is set to be opened early in August this year.
The said time capsule – an oak box with its lid lined with lead – was sealed way back in 1921 and is believed to contain Great War-time coins, stamps, letters, photographs and newspaper cuttings. The time capsule bears a plaque which identifies it as a “Dundee war memorial”. It also contains the specifics in opening it — the postmaster must do the honors at the presence of the Lord Provost on the 4th of August 2014 which is the centenary of the start of WWI. The city of Dundee is honoring that.
The time capsule had been in the city postal workers’ care for the last 93 years.
It has been recently handed over to the city of Dundee. It can be seen on display at the McManus art gallery until its official opening.
