'This is where I went to young Wedderburn, but he had died before I arrived."

Unknown writer, a post card in the Wedderburn Book

This extraordinary little post card seems innocuous at first, it is addressed to Dear Winnie on the 4th May 1916 and sent from Egypt. The photo is from the Egyptian Health Resort at Helouan, just south of Cairo. I am assuming these thermal baths were used as a hospital and convalesce home during the Great War.

It is the 'x' marks the spot on the photo as well as the last sentence just fitting in below the signature that takes my breathe away.

Young Wedderburn had died of his wounds.
