This time the design is "Not Absent in Thoughts" and the inscription on the back "Wishing you many happy returns of the day from Rose, Mark. Will write later."
Update. See posting of 24 May 2009 "An obituary - Rose Finestone". From this, I deduce that the card was sent to Bill Warden's sister Rose from her husband (or maybe then her intended) Mark Finestone.
Further update 14 May 2020. Reading the text again, it is clear that it is not to Rose from Mark, but from Mark and Rose to someone else. The most likely recipient in this case would be Rose's sister Bill, since it was found among his effects. I am now happy to report that I have made contact with one of Mark and Rose's great-grandsons and have passed the card on to him so it will stay in the family.
