Though the view is of Algiers, this postcard is postmarked 15/2/43, when the battalion was in the front line opposite Green Hill, Tunisia. The officer’s signature is indecipherable. However, it does seem to be the same as one of those on the troopship Christmas Day menu. Could it be Richardson, Kauffmann or, my best guess, Lt R W Chapman? Further details requested. |
