Forms used by the Marconi company.

Marconi had the exclusive contract to provide wireless communication from ships (passenger, merchant, etc) to other ships and to and from shore stations. A range of forms were printed in England and used throughout the world.

An example of some of these Marconi forms which were or might have been used on ships with people in or travelling from Australia can be accessed by using the hyperlinks below:

A rare Wartime telegram from Egypt.
A Marconi Radio Telegram sent from Australian Field Post Office 34 on an unknown date in June 1942 to Moonee Ponds but marked with several date marks
including Marconi Radio Telegraph Egypt 14 June 1942, Australian Base P.O, 16 June 1942, AUS FPO 34 19 June 1942, AIF Field PO on 22 June 1942 and mms "Received 25-6-42 on board ship".
The message reflects the obvious emotional strain between sender and recipient.

A nice piece of Marconi advertising is a Post Card shown below. The image of the TELEGRAM on the front has the message "Xmas Greetings and best wishes for the New Year from Mount Morgan".


The message on the reverse is sent from Winnie at Ilfracombe on 24 December 1912
to Winnie Ramage at Ilfracombe but redirected to Longreach Hospital.
