I'm Longing For the Dear Old Home Again
This post card must have been mailed as an enclosure in a letter.
A pen and ink message covers the reverse;
"Dear Mother, Well here I am on my way to France but don't know what time we are going to reach there. We left Ayr Monday night, arrived in London about 8 a.m. yesterday (Tuesday). After four hours stay in London we came on to Southampton where we are now in resting camps. Don't know if it is we are waiting for a transport or not. Just heard we were leaving at 2:30 so we will soon be off again. By the time we are through with this job I think I will be quite use to traveling & knocking around. Telegraphed from Ayr, did you receive it? Love to all. Don't worry. John".
No date on this message. We'll have to hope that John survived to return to Mother and the dear old home.
I found this card at a post card show in Dundas, Ontario.
