Friday 10 September 1915
A multi-view picture postcard with illustrations of the Market Place, Warminster; the Golf Club House on Arn Hill, Warminster; view from the Downs at Warminster; Longleat House; Westbury White Horse; the downs at Codford; and Stonehenge.
In the centre of the pictures is the following rhyme:
I am here – Somewhere in Wiltshire. It’s very queer, I cannot tell you where. Warminster’s our mark, The river Wylye is over there. You send that letter, You cannot do better. It’s sure to land “Somewhere”, I am There.Â
The card is postmarked Warminster 8PM 10 September 1915. The card is addressed to: Mrs. A. Greenwood, 4 Hollins Street, Walsden, Nr. Todmorden, Yorkshire.
The message is also dated “Sept 10 1915” and reads:
“Dear Sister, The weather so very hot indeed but you know I cannot get fat because we have to work like convicts. Start 8 to 8 at night. My right address is Pte E. Crossley 09516, Army Ordnance Depot, Warminster, Wiltshire. (Will write a letter when I have time)
