No notes written (but clippings with poems etc.) tucked into it and not as old as Laurie's, but with a war and family history attached to it. It is my grandma's (now my) Bible and almost the only item saved from East Prussia thanks to her brother, who took it on the submarine where he served. My grandma and mother fled on the sinking Gustloff (biggest ship catastrophy in naval history, they were amongst the few rescued. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Wilhelm_Gustloff ).
   
Sadly, despite my mother I am the only family left, so there will likely be no one to pass on.
