A card from Private Krueger of Brillion, Wisconsin to his father while on occupation duty in Germany. Curiously the card starts off Dear Father but is address to Fred Glassow. Fred is listed on Herbert's draft card as his employer.

Stanley
A different postcard recently for sale on ebay identified the child as Stanley, mascot of the 50th Infantry, age 5. The other photo featuring the same studio prop and background was taken in November of 1919 in Mayen, Germany. The soldier remains unknown.

Wilhelm
The curious thing about this card is the black, red and gold on the back. The flag with this color scheme was adopted by the Weimar Republic in 1919 so perhaps this is a postwar photograph.

Gaar Ingels, 75th Artillery C.A.C.
Gaar Ingels of La Fayette, Illinois played the euphonium with the 75th Artillery C.A.C. Here his is in Saint-Nazarie France in January, 1919. The regiment arrived too late to see combat and returned to America in March of 1919.
This card is unusual in that the photo is glued to a postcard instead of being printed on postcard paper.

Englander Koch

According to the front this Englishman was a mess cook at Wurm in 1918. The back read "Mr. Kaufmann Christmas 1918-easter 1919". Perhaps he was on occupation duty during that time.
