A series of post cards sent to Edward's love, Maud, before he died at the age of 19. <br>Post Card Text:<br> "There's a NFLD girl waiting for her first NFLD boy. While on the field of battle we'll do it or we'll die while shot and shell are flying. There's a tear drop in her eye. There's a NFLD girl sighing for her first Nfld boy. xxxx Ted"

"Dear Maud,
We are having a nice time up the coast (Channel). We will be home about 2am if we get fine weather coming down the coast. We will be in St. John's about Tuesday evening. I see there is another big crowd enlisting for the second regiment. You have had nice weather since we left this time. I just got down to the wharf that evening when the steamer blew. We left half past 3. I must close good-bye, your loving boy xxxx Ted"

"Dearest,
Just a few cards of the ship we are leaving by. We left Aldershot nine o'clock last night. I am going to try and get someone from the shore to post these for me, we are not allowed ashore. I did not get a letter from you before leaving. Believe me to be yours.
xxxxxx Faithfully, Ted"

"Dear Maud,
I am sending you some views of Hawick, its not much of it. Its not as large as St. John's and there are no street cars there. This is the Principal Street. I did not get a letter from you last week and I haven't got either one this week either. I hope you are well. Will is writing to you now.
I remain yours faithfully,
xxxx Ted"
