Next Christmas postcard - undated - probably December 1914

This is the final postcard sent home for Christmas.

This post card was also printed aboard the H.M.A.T. 'Orvieto'. The printed message on the reverse 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.

This postcard is addressed to A.G.Adams' eldest brother, A.P. Adams (Arthur Parker Adams), who lived on his sheep farm 'Bidgemia', outside the town of Urana in the Riverina district of New South Wales, Australia.

The front of the postcard depicts a young rubber plantation.

And the reverse reads:

'Hot as Hades and raining a fair amount. Good trip not much excitement. AGA.'

This card was probably written whilst on board the H.M.A.T. Orvieto and then posted on arrival at Egypt.
