[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 331668, member: 136"]With all the talk about postcards & albums lately, I decided to pull out some of the ones I have and take a "fresh look" at them. I've mentioned before that I have a bunch of the embroidered silk ones. I counted today, and there are [B]51[/B] of them, all different! Most have writing on the back, but none of them was posted "as is" - they must have been mailed in envelopes. In addition, the group includes: 10 colorized "made for the war" PCs; 15 B&W RPPCs of family member soldiers & their chums; 18 B&W RPPCs of places in France the soldiers had passed thru; 6 different (rather odd) color drawing PCs of the "Miracle of (St) Bernadette" and several other different types. I don't want to hog the board, so I'll just post a couple of examples of some of them, starting here with the colorized "made for the war" type: [ATTACH=full]110977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]110978[/ATTACH] The sender wrote some sweet (and slightly risque) notes on the backs of these![/QUOTE]
