Postcard - 1 May 1915 - all well, slight hurt

Athol writes a postcard to his mother on 1 May 1915. It shows a panoramic view of the Aswan Dam. It's quite a peaceful image to convey the message that he is returning to the front.

It takes a rather long time to travel via the Army Post Office (15 May) to Melbourne on 22 June where it eventually catches up with Adah who was living at the time in the Oriental Hotel, Collins Street, Melbourne.

Compared with earlier hand-writing this looks rushed/tired.




The text reads:
All well. Slight hurt upper arm and wrist left arm. Returning front immediately. AGA.
