247250 Ernest Farrar South Irish Horse I purchased an old & used book in the small town of Picton which is in the southeast of the Province of Ontario in Canada about a year ago now. In it, I found a postcard. The picture on the card is clearly French. A young woman looks toward a group of French soldiers marching off to war. The inscription at the bottom left of the card reads: On vous attend and then below that Venez vite. The address on the card reads, Mrs Farrar, 98 Elford Tce, Donone or Donove Ave, S. C. Road, Dublin Ireland. The Post Office stamp reads: DE 22 14. So, 22nd Dec 1914.
In a hand other than Farrar's there is the annotation: On Active Service G. Jameson. Farrar's note reads, "Sorry I could not get a minute to see you before I left but we were taken by surprise & had to leave in a woeful hurry. We expected to leave here for the fight in a few days. Remember me to Iva?, Geo, Uncle Bill & Freddie." The note is signed Ernest. The address in France reads, No 1204, S. I. H. Cavalry Details, No. 6 Base, Rouen, France. The card is in remarkably good condition given its age.
I collect militaria but if this is of interest to Ernest's family, I'd be happy to forward it.
