Description

On the front of this postcard Mrs Ethel Brudenell-White has written “A photograph of the 'Drayton Grange at Suez. Brudenell came back on this ship from the South African War - she was terribly overcrowded. On the way to England in 1905 he met this ship lying in one of the ports”. Brudenell refers to Captain Cyril Brudenell Bingham White.
