Dear Alice,

Just a few lines to wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year. Hoping this card gets there in time. Are leaving for the front on next Wednesday night. It is getting terrible cold over here now you could hardly believe how frozen everything gets. I must now close this card. From your sincere friend

Postcard From Alfred Gundrill

Wed. 29th Nov. France 1916

Dear Alice,

I recieved your cards today and was pleased to hear from you. We are close up to the firing line but have not been in yet. There is a few shell holes around here. We are both quite well and having a good time. We have just been down for a hot bath you get a clean change of clothes given to you too. This is not quite up to England but could be worse. I must now say goodbye

Your sincere friend

Alf
