Guest Melinda Posted 23 September , 2003 Share Posted 23 September , 2003 Not sure if this is where I should be looking/asking! My father has found a postcard sent from Sutton Veny, Wilts on 22/9/18 which says "Just a card for you. I am off to France on the 25th of this month. Good bye from your old pal George in the aif". No idea who George is - nor who it was sent to...possibly a male relative of mine as found in a box here in NSW, Australia Not a lot to go on, I know - but I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of where to go from here. The card has a picture of George on the front but I cant make out any medal numbers or anything - but his ears stick out if that helps (ha) - photo attached. Hope someone can help!

Neil Mackenzie Posted 23 September , 2003 Share Posted 23 September , 2003 Melinda. Welcome to the forum. Sutton Veny is in Wiltshire not far from Salisbury Plain where a number of AIF units did their training. Sutton Veny itself was a large base for No 1 Australian Command in 1918 and had a Military Hospital. The local cemetery has 143 AIF graves. Some links:- Account of ANZAC Day at Sutton Veny - 2003 A map of the area A local map Your picture did not appear with your post - if you have trouble with this email it to Chris (or any one of us) and we will add it for you. Good luck. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
