Confidential and
Emily Grace Gertrude Porter.
We have two postcards carrying this picture, with different writing on the
back.
The first has Grace's
writing with annotations by
Confidential. It reads:
(GRACE EMILY GERTRUDE LITTLEJOHNS
&
RONALD EDWIN COLDE LITTLEJOHNS
CIRCA 1917
writer is Grace Littlejohns)
myself + Ron
Taken during
the War at
Whitton Essex
(WHITTON
is actually Suffolk
not Essex).
The second has Grace's
sister (Bessie) Elizabeth Drage Porter, writing to her
husband Arthur Allberry.
The annotations are by Confidential. It reads:
Dear Arthur
Thought you
might want these
*socks? books?* hope you
are well
All send love
Bess
(This is not the
same writer as the other photo
Bess would have
been Elizabeth (Bessie)
Drage Allberry
(nèe Porter)
and Arthur was
her husband
Arthur Allberry
I think she refers
to "Socks"
Arthur may have been at
the war)
