I have recently started collecting postcards of my home town Of Hemel Hempstead. I bought one recently which is a picture of a beautiful old mansion house called Gadebridge House. No mention was given of what was written on the reverse.
It is dated 10th Feb 1917 and says: My dear Lassie, Just a line to let you know that I am quite well Trusting this may find you both quite well and to say that we are not gone away today, don't know what day we are going, Yours affect. Bert (He goes onto say -) My new number is 197302 don't put my old no on the letters again. F Sub 39th Batty RFA Gadebridge Camp, Hemel Hempstead
What a bonus! A card that is 99 years old, and from one of our brave boys, Albert Greenfield. I know there was a huge army camp based in Hemel Hempstead, he was obviously part of this group. There are pictures of the camp on line of this era. Did he survive? He obviously had family, as he says 'find you both well'. I now understand that sections of the army were formed together with other sections, hence my old number. I would love to know more. This card is one of my treasured possessions.
