This card was written by the web mistress's grandfather, James
Hardy Smithies[1], on 2 Aug 1918 whilst he was on active service
and sent to his younger daughter.
It shows the tram station for the Etaples to Paris-Plage tram.
There is a semi circular sign above the main entrance and the
tram lines stop roughly level with this. The line opened in
1900 and closed forty years later. Le Touquet is near Boulogne,
in the Pas-de-Calais department. |
