The message on the cards reads:
Dear Helen,
I haven't any news, so I can't write. I am in hopes of seeing you Thurs. then for a time. Hope I can (illegible) and make any kind of train connections. I'll arrive at 7:15 am on sleeper from N.Y. City. If I can come I will telegraph and if I do meet me at the train. I won't write again until I know for sure whether I am coming or not. Lovingly MJB

I haven't any news, so I can't comment.
ReplyDeleteWar time is a money maker. Soldiers are replacable for the good of the country.

Because of the copy on the back I can't tell if this is a card from the Illustrated Postal Card & Nov. Co. I believe I have one by the same illustrator, but mine is a Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteRobert, I try to give MJB the benefit of the doubt, although he sounds like a supremely boring date. Maybe he became more interesting with age.
ReplyDeleteRandy,
Military postcards and propoganda always seem to emphasize romance and heroism, not the brutality and ugliness of war. That has to be the emphasis, or else the soldiers might never go.
I miss writing and receiving letters. Maybe that's why I look forward to my birthday every year. I always love the cards where people actually write something themselves.
ReplyDeleteI adore all of your postcards ;-)
