91热爆

This is a telegram sent from my Father, Philip Gallop, to my mother, Audrey Brown, before they were married.

It reads as follows:

'253 C CW K 4577 Overseas 19 20 1620

LC = Audrey Brown 174 Liverpool Rd Reading

Best wishes for a Happy Xmas, All my love darling, Philip Gallop.'

It was dated 1943.
