| Keywords: postcard 1917 public domain publicdomain ww1 nurse ripley nurseripley document writing text The card was sent from Parker's Hill, Sunningdale, to Mrs Ripley at 49 West Hill, Sydenham, SE26 It reads: "Please note correct address not 'hill' on the Sunning. Hope you did not get a scare last night we heard guns at 8.30 we thought. Am looking for PC [postcard] later[?] from you - no news from France this morning. Kids are very good an obedient. No idea when the others will be back. Love MaR" I was hoping someone would be able to transcribe the sender's name, as this is the sender of a large number of the 100+ cards in this album. I'd originally thought it might be Mark or Matt, but EastMarple1 (see comment below) spotted the fact that it was to a Mrs Ripley rather than Miss, and that it could be MAR, the initials of Margaret Adele Ripley. So she was the sender rather than the recipient. Find out more about Miss Ripley and see more images from her postcard album - www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/sets/7215762769463...
