Message on back: 'France, 12/1/17. Dear Grandma, Just a photo in trench garb. Things are very quiet here at present. I am very well and haven't (thank God) had a cold since leaving home. Fred is in England and Em is also. I have been recommended for a commission. How's Renee and Jim, the latter I will see shortly I suppose. Best love to you and hope you are well. Goodbye Grandma, Jack xxx. Haven't seen Wally Minerds yet, but heard he is well.' The Wally Minerds mentioned is likely to be No. 3411 Private Walter Thomas Minerds of Torrensville, South Australia, 10th Battalion.
