Embroidered Postcard from George Gauntlett

Sent by George Gauntlett to his wife Florence (nee Moon).
Great Uncle George was a lifelong teetotaler and used to tell me that they held him down to pour the Rum ration down his throat before they let him go 'over the top'.

Editor's Comment:
Postcard with the message: 'To My Dear Wife'.
Pte. 85290 George Gauntlett, Northumberland Fusiliers

本藏品为乔治·甘特利特（George Gauntlett）寄给其妻子弗洛伦斯（Florence，娘家姓穆恩Moon）的通信。我的叔祖父乔治终身奉行禁酒准则，他曾向我讲述，当年军中人员曾将他按倒，强行将朗姆酒配给灌入口中，之后才准许他"冲出战壕"（over the top）。

编者按：
该藏品为印有留言"致我亲爱的妻子"的明信片。
