[Card]
From Lance Corporal T. Taylor
Australian Expeditionary Forces,
On Active Service Abroad,
To
My Dear Mother
With Best Love

For the sake of those I dearly love,
And in the cause of Liberty,
I've left my southern sunny home,
And crossed the wide and trackless sea.

Heaven guard and bless you, dearest one,
Whilst I in foreign hands may roam;
Though I am absent in the flesh,
My tenderest thoughts are of my home.

Good luck to you whilst I'm away;
I know the parting cost you pain;
My earnest prayer from day to day is
God be with you till we meet again.
