Forest inside life saver. Warship and tank in opposite top corners. Each month on a small green sheet that tears off.Context
Battleship Texas underwent post-war refitting in New York Navy Yard from December 26, 1918, to January 31, 1919.
John Lamson was a MM1c on Battleship Texas from May 1917 to June 1919. Throughout his time on Texas, he sent a letter to his family at least once a week, often more. Longer stretches of absence are explained either by movement across the Atlantic, or with the Grand Fleet.
The crew of Battleship Texas made holiday cards and gifts for those back home, and occasionally held holiday events when in port.Collection
