Going through some old photos and found the following three.

Can't work out what it says!

Can anyone help?

All my love, ma Cherie, from your loving

Elephant bath. Ceylon.

I would say

all my love, name?
from your loving fiancé

One looks like Elephant's Back, Ceylon. Ceylon is now called Sri Lanka

I think mo chridh means my darling.

Elephant's something, Ceylon 56. Can't work out the something.

Elizabeth bath? Ceylon 1956

Lovely Victorian copperplate by the way

Dunno about riding a horse, but ah sure can ride a heffa-lump. With love

Perhaps “All my love mo chridhe” that’s gaelic for my heart.

Elephant Bath, Ceylon

Dunno about riding a ….bit I sure can ride a rifle charge?

Dunno about riding a horse (?) but ah sure can ride a heffa lump

Also.think it ends with a heffa lump!

1st image I got "all my love (....) from your loving Finance" but can't work out the bracket bit. The finance would be called Monica. But it doesn't look like Monica?

2nd image I read it as "Elephants Bath"

But wasn't sure what the place was Ceylon or something.

And I couldn't read the third image at all but I can see what people are saying about heffa lump now!

Definitely this. And the other is definitely Elephant bath Ceylon.

fiancé

Should have said he's riding an elephant in the photo! So I'm assuming Elephants Bath.

It's my Grandpa's writing but looks nothing like his writing at all!

What are the photos on the flip sides?

Dunno about riding a loss but sure can ride a heffa lump.

1. "All my love, mo bride" ?
2. As above "Elephants Bath, Ceylon"
3. "Dunno about riding a hors, but - - - ride a heffa-lump"

A hoss
Ah shure can
I think it's written in a Western movie accent

Agree with all the comments above. The jokey turn of phrase is the way my relatives used to write notes to each other.

That does sound like the sort of thing he'd do!

Mo chride

All my love, mo chridhe = my darling in Irish, from your loving fiance (one 'e' crossed out as two would = woman, so a man has written this.) My Irish grandparents used this word affectionately (also 'cara' for darling)

Heffalump (ie from winnie the pooh) is a fun way of saying elephant - my grandparents used this word.

I'm guessing the pic relates to elephants as well!

How lovely to see these OP.

And Ceylon = now Sri Lanka
