Field Service Post Card - 6 August 1915 - I am well

Athol sent a Field Service Post Card to his mother saying that he is 'quite well' and received her letter dated 15 (perhaps this was letter number 15). It was processed by the 1st Division mail centre on 19 August and didn't arrive in Melbourne until 1 October.

You will note the date, 6 August 1915. This marks the commencement of the series of attacks known as the Battle of Lone Pine.
