I was just saying to her now, “I think I’ll bang it on the card.”
“No! No! No way!”  |  |

I'm guessing the I, is Ismay.
Who is selling, Does Marietta know about it? Must be some story behind it for a corporal to receive it. With him when he died maybe.
Certainly of interest to our Cardiff brothers. |  |

I’ll take a guess at Cpl Wiskin having been his Batman? The ‘I’ would almost certainly have been Ismay and I’d take a further guess that the watch may well have been among the effects of the late Colonel shipped home to the Crichton-Stuarts which his widow had inscribed and made a gift of to the Cpl in remembrance? That’s just me, though it does seem plausible given the date of the inscription.
I’ve probably told you this before but my great-grandfather carried the body back from New Trench to the Coy. clearing station. He was only a kid but a bloody big one for the era.
