      Inscription on verso reads: "Dear Allan./ Buy Monty is fair into it by this/ he never stopped here more than three days they send them straight/ on now. I have quite forgotten what/ rain is like more than you can say./ I suppose you have plenty of white/ bait now I could not look at them./ I am going to see all our wounded/ chaps next week so that should/ make me game the sooner we/ get to the Dards the better as/ I am full up of this training. Dord."
