(Vernon's note on card: this tower is now down from X line.)

Postcard from Vernon Hanley, Cyclist Corps

"I have just written its translation on other side. I dion't know what is going on
but we have not been able to hear ourself speak for the sound of the guns
& machine guns have been continuously firing for the last half hour
someone is catching it. It looks as if I am going to have a very busy night..
time: 1:48am, May 17th 1916
Vernie"
