A post card written and sent from the 1910 Camp at Hindlow (near Buxton)

“Dear H

Thanks for the PC received this morning. I should think I do know where it is, I wish I was there now I am about sick of this camp. I am getting on famous under the circumstances. I thought you had forgot to write however your chap getting on now. From your most affectionate.

From AC”

We will never know the identity of ‘AC’. Hatty was born in September 1890 and married Charle Wheatley in April 1911 and their daughter Mariam (1911-1985) was born in August 1911. Hatty died in August 1979.

Interestingly, the Ilkeston address would suggest that ‘AC’ served in the 5th Battalion, but the card is of the 6th Battalion…..we’ll never know…….
