Did anyone else see this news item a few days ago? It was in my Apple News feed in the CNN channel.

Read in CNN: https://apple.news/AbKRYLRrBRvmtDLzNlW0CIw

Quoted from the article:
Sent in February 1916, the correspondence arrived at its intended address in Hamlet Road, south London, much to the bewilderment of the current occupants.
"We noticed that the year on it was '16. So we thought it was 2016," Finlay Glen told CNN Thursday. "Then we noticed that the stamp was a King rather than a Queen, so we felt that it couldn't have been 2016."

There was an earlier thread about this topic ... in this particular forum. Look for a thread that was initiated on Feb. 16.
