Welshing on a Cruise

There is one way you can do some travel at the moment by retracing a previous journey using letters and postcards that were sent along the way.  I opened a packet of postcards which detail a four month cruising trip by Jack Welsh in 1957.  The cards are always addressed Pamela, Dennis and Brendon.  It would have been cold cruising the top of Europe from Sep to Dec.  One card mentions crap weather and struggling to get back on board before the ship left.  Another shows kids playing on the beach at Dunkirk and the wording suggests the Clancy kids ask their parents what happened there in WWII.

The card I have here is probably the warmest place he got to at Aden.  This was a small British outpost established in 1839  to repel  Arab pirates who were attacking British shipping, now called Southern Yemen.

Translation

The place with the two crosses on is the Post Office and the one cross is the Catholic School and a convent. (See blue ink X drawn in)  Just ...  one cross is was a lift ... not much bigger than your ... and she was feeding her two little brothers, one about the age and size of Dennis, the other two no bigger than Brendon. Fondest love to you all from Grandad.
