World War I postcard with “nurse’s mail” frank
1918
This postcard is part of a wider trend of sending picture postcards during World War I. The image on the front shows a local French train station, though it was also common for cards to have a sentimental or propaganda theme. Sent by a nurse serving in France it brings a fond message to a friend back in the United States. It mentions that they have been thinking of them, wills them to write soon and wishes them a happy holiday season.
