Grandad’s WWII Diary – Postcard sent from Australia - April 1941

1940s Australian Postcard of a Koala

My grandfather sent this postcard home in April 1941 on his way to serve in North Africa during World War 2. I am not sure if it was sent to his Mum or his girlfriend Marg (who he later married and became my grandmother). To read the diary entries around this time, click here.

All my love

Hope to see you soon

Stuart

Have sent a letter by air mail

Love Stuart
