A card to Miss Helen McGregor of Blacks Point from Sam Taylor, 1918.

About this image

DescriptionA seasonal card for the new year, posted to Miss Helen McGregor of Blacks Point from her sweet heart Sam Taylor, while serving as part of the NZEF in Europe; date stamped 11 October 1918, while Sam was stationed at Brocton Camp, Stafford, UK awaiting their return home.
In his usual style, the personalised note from Sam to Helen simply said "From Sam with much love X". While both Sam and Helen each married other people after WWI had ended, they were eventually married later in life, with Helen clearly holding a torch for Sam all those years by keeping his various cards.
This postcard is one of several hundred collected by Helen McGregor of Blacks Point, primarily spanning 1900 through 1920s.Date of Photo1918Map^[1]Contributor Keith Funnell
