amazing thing!! does this adrees still work?? well im not going to send a letter, but i dont know maybe if u go could find the history of this post card..

perhaps this archive item needs a date adjustment?

The handwritten date is the date the postcard was written. We use the ca. 1915 as a best guess as to when the card was produced. And for a bit more on museums and numbers: the pencilled three part # on the bottom left is our accession number. It shows that we acquired this object in 1977, that it was 67th lot brought in that year, and of the lot, it was the 38th item.

In my opinion, this postcard is not earlier than 1917. Red Cross postcards where available through the Red Cross Home Service, which was created in 1917, with the arrival of American soldiers in France. (see www.redcross.org/museum/history/ww1a.asp )

Beautiful capture absolutely lovely ! Well done!!



Thank you for your Encouragements............

Probably from Coronal R.J. Meyering - same handwriting as other post cards written by this soldier in 1919 all sent from Rein, France to Rochester, NY.

Now this is beautiful handwriting!
