Thomas Williams, born in Penmachno in 1886, was working as a tailor in Colwyn Bay when the First World War broke out. Tom enlisted in the Liverpool Scottish Regiment on 21 November 1915 and left for France on 9 April 1916. This embroidered postcard was sent toTom's sister, Kate, from Bellacourt, near Arras, at some point in 1916. The message reads 'With kind regards to you all T Wms'. Tom was later wounded and captured by the Germans. He returned to Wales, and died in 1945.
