POSTCARD: MILITARY GROUP PORTRAIT WITH VIV JAMES

The photograph is a carte postale sent by Viv James from France to his mother and he identifies the men by name on the image: Crosby, McManus, Golly, Mansfield. Viv James sits on the left hand side. James and Mansfield are holding cigars. The men's hats are in a pile in front of the group.

One from Qld, and the other two from N.S.W. I hope that all at home are well, same as myself. This photo was taken when we went down the line one day for an outing. Viv. It is addressed to: Mrs B.P.
