Physical description

Postcard (1) Beach Scene/ Postcard (2) Three local men on top of Pyramid

Inscriptions & markings

Postcard (1) The back of this postcard bears the inscription - " This is a scene on the beach. Just fancy a shell bursting among this crowd. They often do. The Turks have got a gun they train on this place alone. I have seen seventeen knocked one day with one shell. They can't fire too often as they are short of ammunition, they would get thousands here I suppose. The gun that does fire here has killed more than any other gun in the war. The Boys call him (possibly "bracky") Bill.

Postcard (2) The back of this postcard bears the inscription "This is one of some niggers taken on the top of the pyramids"
