It took 90 years for a postcard from a British soldier to his girlfriend to arrive at the Chippenham, England home of the deceased couple's 86-year-old daughter. Mailed by Pvt. Walter Butler from his post during World War I, the postcard mysteriously appeared in the delivery sack of mail carrier Martin Kay. Kay did some research and discovered that Butler and his girlfriend Amy Hicks had married. Then Kay tracked down their living descendant and was able to deliver the postcard.
