Lost 10-Won 1




Well, it says soccer, rather than football on the front, so I'm going out on a limb and say that a team of American soldiers got beat big time by locals who had been playing the game for most of their lives.  I also suspect that that one win might have been thrown to make the Yanks feel a bit better about themselves.

I don't know him!


Written on the front, lower, border, "Southampton-Taking train for London."  Written on the back, "I don't know him!  He must have been standing at next compartment.  Boat comes up to dock on left, and so-to London."

Southampton has been a major British port for centuries.  It's been a hub for passenger ships since the nineteenth century.  When this picture was taken, it was also a ferry port, connecting England with Europe.
