Thomas Williams, born in Penmachno in 1886, was working as a tailor in Colwyn Bay when the First World War broke out. Tom enlisted in the Liverpool Scottish Regiment on 21 November 1915 and left for France on 9 April 1916. This postcard was sent to Tom's sister, Kate, on 3 August 1916. The message reads 'Dear All, Just a card to let you know that I am alright. The weather is frightfully hot. Thanking you for your kind offer of sending me something occasional???? (cake) will be very acceptable. Tom Aug 1st'. Tom was later wounded and captured by the Germans. He returned to Wales, and died in 1945.
