| Notes |
embroidered postcard associated with 25-1840 Rifleman Frank Silk Whitaker, NZ Rifle Brigade, kia, Passchendaele 12.10.1917 “Somewhere in France 27-6-17 My dear son, Well old man I wonder how you are getting on for I got very few letters from you. Now I think you must have forgotten your old mate. Dear son your old dad had a hard time the other night I was four hours in gas and I did not feel too good the next day, I wont tell you what I felt later, it was no good old man and a big shell burst right in front of us but it did not hurt anyone but it was one of those jack johnsons you know we used to talk about them when I was home. That seems a long time ago. Now old man I will say good bye God bless you and Mum and Baby look after them Sonie. I remain your loving Father F.S.W.” |
