Hi Sue, Yes the 2 postcard photos of John are when he was with his depot, but unfortunately the postmark cannot be read. I know which is John as my gran, his sister, showed me when I was a child. Her name was Robina Kinvig who later md James Philip Archibald Kelly. (JPA Kelly got no headstone which is why we have named our new puppy Archie in his memory). Right, back to the message - the other photo is the rugby team 1915 which is printed on the photo plus W.C.D or M.C.D rugby team. I also have a photo with a mother & her baby. Someone has written on the back 'Johnnie & his mother. Nine months 1916.' I've been comparing the writing of the army cards & this baby one. Same colour ink , could possibly be written by the same hand but not obviously so. Could be the John born in 1915 ?
