This postcard was one of the first sent home, by eager Australian soldiers starting what many of them called a 'great adventure'. The ship is the T.S.S. Anchises, and is depicted at PORT MELBOURNE, Australia.

The card was posted at TELELKEBIR, just off the Nile in Egypt, by a soldier on his way to war.

The ship was a member of the 'Blue Funnel Line', Alfred Holt & Co., of the India Buildings, LIVERPOOL, England.
