What an interesting card. My dad appreciated the cartoonist that hung around in the field while in WW2. The depicted life and opinions that no one else ever would publish.
T & L, The back is completely blank, unfortunately. However, I would think this has to be from the end of either war, since it's labeled as the Army of Occupation.
What a superb find. Nothing like a hand-made drawing on an old postcard. I'm stumped on the WWI vs. WWII question. Guess the type of ink used could be a clue.
Funny how the mind works. As I was reading this, I immediately thought of the poor police officers in AZ, who no doubt will get lots of folks screaming 'fresh' 'foul' and a few other things:(
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!

ReplyDeleteCould also be WW2 because at the beginning they were wearing old uniforms from WW1. I guess you're saying it wasn't sent so no postmark?
