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. He was injured in the foot in August 1916 and sent back to England for treatment. This postcard was sent to Tom's sister, Kate, in June 1917 after he returned to active service in France. The message reads "Dear All, We are still at the base, having a fairly easy time, weather very hot, will write to you again when we are more settled down. Yours sincerely, Tom".
