This card has made me go cold; just imagine how he felt being allowed only to send that and, as you say, probably realising it means something serious is about to happen. Only a few days left - please, please let him get home safely from this horrible mess.

Only the night of 26 the 7 British Div.-gen. T.H. Shoubridge- could install half a dozen of bridges over the Grave to cross the Piave river. As Harry is dating his postcard on oct. 27 we can expect, I argue, that in a short time he'll cross the river running ahead to Vittorio Veneto<BR/>(Rocco)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-8723255300622961592008-10-26T15:41:00.001+00:002008-10-26T15:41:00.001+00:00Hello Harry:Landed in Le Havre the other day, now ...Hello Harry:<BR/>Landed in Le Havre the other day, now on the way to someplace called Neufchateau.
