While cleaning some of my mothers estate, I came across a postcard written to my great grandfather. It is a "Davis" Message Card - Alphabet IOU card.
Sent to an address in London. I can't make out the city stamp. I would appreciate any assistance in helping find the origin, possible date and decoding the address on the card. I attempted to post a scan of it, but don't know how...
Thanks in advance.

A scan view of the postcard (front and back) would help here - unfortunately you can't upload images directly to postcard.co.uk
To add images to posts you first need to upload them somewhere first on the internet - for example to one of the free image hosting sites - a google search will find you one - then you can add the url link to your image in your post -

Hello Ron
I hope the following is of some use -
HMML - (HIS MAJESTY'S MOTOR LAUNCH) 418
C/o GPO London - (Care of General Post Office, London)
Looks like postmark 29 May 1917 possibly Rickmandsworth?
A little about HMML here and possibly an avenue to take for further info -
