"Bonne Annee = Happy New Year

France Dec. 21st 16

Dearest Rose,

This is the P.C. I mentioned in letter of above date.

Alf Cornish tells me he will be going to England on about the 28th inst. Good luck to him. Wish I could go but of course I hope the war ends long before my turn for leave comes round. 'England's old in story' etc but Aussy for me. Best love from yours as ever Walter"

Quotation Context

New's Year's postcard from Walter to Rose, written December 21, 1916. We know nothing of Walter, Rose, or Alf Cornish, but it seems Walter only recently arrived in France, and looks forward to returning to Australia. The war would not be over before his leave, but would continue for nearly two more years.
