A postcard from Harry Skidmore to his wife Norah.

Inscription reads:

Some lucky heather and forget-me-nots blue

Both help carry a message to you

My love and best wishes I send with this card

And hopes that you're not finding time passing too hard.

From Harry

To Norah with Love

Just think of the mem'ries of six years ago

And the wonderful future that's coming we know.
