Trooper Albert Richards: 'Steam up!'

 

 

One of a series of hand-drawn postcards by Trooper Albert E. V. Richards of the 10th Royal Hussars (Service No. 1936), addressed to Miss M. Rust, 37/8 St James's Place, St James's Street, London SW. It reads:

Steam up!

A.R. 1917. X.R.H.

[Reverse]

9th Jany 1917

Dear Mary,

This will give you a good idea of myself working on one of the three boilers I'm looking after. Rather hot work, but better than being out in this wretched weather, how is it in London? Will write again soon.

Albert.
