This was one of a series of 24 cards "Péronne & Ses
Environs apres le départ des Boches", showing the
devastation caused by the bombing in the region.
The card was posted on 9 Sep 1919 and sent to Miss Muriel
Hatton, Bellevue Cottage, Waterloo Road, Matlock Bath. The
message reads:
Just a card as promised. Hope you are well. Its
beautiful out here
Love to you from

The web mistress does not know who John J Weavers was, other
than that he was a friend or acquaintance of her great aunt.
