Somewhat cryptic message about his stolen stamp collection: "...The Philatelic world will be...indebted to me when I...will expose the tactics of these bodyies [sic] re Smythe & myself..." Gary Diffen records these Postal Cards 27.4.1917 to 15.7.1917 only. This example is two years later and the only example recorded from Holdsworthy Camp. See EFR at page 97. (Image1) (Image2)
