There are 1917 postmarks and in this inverted image there seems to be a faded address

That’s intriguing Shaun. If it’s an address it is written on the wrong side of the postcard, but it does happen. Can you make any sense of it?

I don’t know about such things, but it there anything that Luke can do scan wise to enhance the words so they show up more?
