Scope and Content

Photo postcard. The black and white photo depicts the interior of a hut (canteen). A large group of United States Army soldiers stand facing the camera. A few more soldiers can also be seen seated at a table to the left of the image, including an African American soldier. United States flags are used as decoration around the hut. The back of the postcard has two thin vertical lines delineating the correspondence and address sections. The word "Carte Postale" is printed across the top edge with a thin horizontal line under. The address section has four thin horizontal lines, and the letter "M" printed in a fancy script font guiding the recipient's information. This postcard was presumably produced in France.
