Postcard - 27 March 1916 - football in the sand

Athol writes a short note to mother thanking her for more parcels. He mentions a game of soccer (football) played against the Notts and Derby Field Ambulance.

27-3-16

Dear Mater,

... another parcel has arrived containing foodstuffs dated 5-2-16 for which many thanks. Also the other members of the mess are very grateful for the added bill of fare.

We had a game of soccer yesterday agains the Notts & Derby Field Ambulance. They beat us two goals to one. I played a very rigorous but unscientific game and am very stiff and sore today.

Love to Pater and Aunt P.

Yours lovingly,

Athol
