Homer
Homer relaxing in camp in 1918. Not sure why his bunk is outside near the garbage sorting area. He waited until 1919 to send this card along to Ruth.

5 blessés couchés ou 8 asses
A French hospital with an ambulance out front. This was close enough to the front to warrant a red cross on the roof of the building.

Herbert Albert Krueger
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.

Regular Army
An infantryman with the regular army. There is no unit number is on his collar insignia so this would place this photo to before 1918.

Artillery Damage
No written explanation on this card. It looks like someone took a picture showing the artillery damage just above the bed they were sleeping in.

Breech Cover
A poor quality photo but one of the few I have seen where the rifles are fitted with a breech cover. This also makes the rifles difficult to identify. I believe they are M1917 Endfields.
The soldiers here are marching through an American town. They are lucky enough to have trucks to carry their packs.
