Walter Gilmour's Final Postcard

Walter Gilmour's final postcard dated Sunday Jan 15 1916. He died of wounds nine days later after Battle of Hanna. It is addressed to his fiancé Miss E Rogers in Winchester, and has these few words :- "Alls well. Please tell Ethel & 36. Uncle, Myself and Frank". 'Uncle' is probably Walter Watmore #306489, Frank (who has signed in his own hand) is Walter's brother Frank Victor #201116. '36' is his and Frank's family home, 36 Hyde Abbey Road Winchester. On the day he wrote this card the conditions were very bad, to quote from Captain Robert Palmer's letters ""Sunday. At 5.30 we stood to arms. It rained harder than ever and most of us hadn't a dry stitch. At last it got light, the rain gradually stopped, and a thoroughly depressed battalion breakfasted in a grey mist, expecting to be bombarded the moment it lifted."
