My father, Richard Sydney Wilkie, was posted overseas during the War.

Whilst in France he sent me postcards of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs written in French which he translated on the back.

This postcard reads:

French : La journee terminee, les Nains quittent la mine de diamants

English: At the end of the day the seven dwarfs leave their work in the diamond mines.
