This is a card sent back to my mother (Kathleen Danson) for her nineth birthday. It came from her father William Danson who was serving in France in the First World War and is one of a large collection he sent from the war front to his family (below ).
The postmark is September 2nd 1917, with Kathleen's birthday on September 8th. Written in feint pencil, it is a bit difficult to decipher, but asks her to help mother and baby.
My mother is the little girl on the right of this photograph, with her sister Edith, brother Harry and baby brother Billy, named after his father. c.1916.
