Christmas postcard - undated - probably December 1914

A.G. Adams sent three post cards home for Christmas.

All three postcards were printed aboard the H.M.A.T. 'Orvieto'. Two have a printed message on the reverse which reads:

'Kind Thoughts and Best Wishes for a Happy Christmas and Prosperity in the Coming Year.' Athol G. Adams.

A short verse is also included in the corner:

The wind blows cold,  but hearts are warm And love smiles at the weather, For Yule is here,  when those apart In spirit are together.

The first of these postcards is addressed to Athol's step-father, Mr Guy Sherwood.

The hand-written note says:

 'Have you ever seen anything like this? AGA'.

I think that the card was written whilst at sea on the H.M.A.T. 'Orvieto' and then posted on arrival at Egypt in early December 1914.
