The postcard is talking about my family. I am Emmanuel MAY, living in France. W.T. May is certainly William and “F” for Frances his sister, married to Burt Welch (Their shop is in the background of the photo). My grandfather, Alfred, was their brother. He got married and stayed in France after WW1. He lived at 53 rue de l’industrie in 1953.
I suppose the postcard has been sent to William when he was visiting Alfred. But there is an enigma. Knowing that nobody wrote french, except William who was already in France, who has written that card really ? The message could give the solution ?
