Prominently displayed are an "A" insignia, likely representing the AEF First Army, and a vibrant cluster of American and French flags, embodying the Allied spirit. The postcard was sent by Corp Leslie De Weese of Company M, 330th Infantry, from St. Joire, France, on April 9, 1919, to Sgt Addison DeWeese in Brainerd, Wisconsin, U.S.A. It bears two distinct A.E.F. Postal Service postmarks from April 11, 1919, confirming its journey as military mail. The reverse contains a handwritten message from Leslie to his "brother and Sister," detailing daily life, mentioning school, and a visit to Treveray. This piece offers a direct glimpse into the personal experiences of American soldiers stationed in France during the post-armistice period of WWI, making it a significant historical artifact for collectors of military correspondence and WWI memorabilia. Printed by M. P. S. & Cie. Paris.
