My Dearest Elsie
This is a photo we had taken outside our hut. This is the surprise I was telling you about. What do you think of it? Not so bad for a start. I suppose when I get back I'll find a moustache cup in my place at the table. My mate is the second in the middle row. A chap I know in the 25ths stood and laughed for about 5 minutes when he saw me. Always yours xxx Alf xxxxxxx - Image 2 of 2
