YES
MY LOVE THE SAME
YOUR WIFE, ETHEL

PRIVATE JOHN SMITH

MACHINE GUN CORPS

26TH MARCH 1918 AGE 35

BURIED: ETAPLES MILITARY CEMETERY, FRANCE


This is such a tender inscription, an assurance by a wife to her husband that her feelings for him are just the same as they always were. Ethel Smith lived in Newnham Road, Everdon, Daventry, Northamptonshire but even this hasn't enabled me to identify the couple any further.
