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.

American Servicemen in Germany
Two groups of American Servicemen on occupation duty in Germany. At first I thought they were taken in the same spot but on closer inspection I noticed that the curtains in the windows are different.

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.
