The post card is sent from the Maadi Camp. Can you make out the stamps 'L.H. Brigade' and 'British Camp Maadi'?. Athol was stationed at Maadi as he was in charge of the Battalion's transport section which was primarily a job concerning the welfare of the Battalion's horses. None of the these horses were taken to the Gallipoli peninsular. The horses remained in the Maadi camp during 1915. Only mules were used as transports on the steep rocky slopes surrounding Anzac cove.
The post card reads:
Maadi
