This Post Card dated 22 nd August .1914 was written some 18 days after the declaration war.
It was sent from Ethel to Frank who then was stationed at Charles St Boys School Luton.
The card shows South Staffs Regiment assembled in Queen Square Walsall in readiness for the departure.
At the time of writing Ethel was working with her father in his picture framing shop at Willenhall. She remarks that the business was quiet although her father worked that evening until 11pm.
