View WWI American Military Base France 1918 Postcard Convalescent Camp E66 with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Discover a rare glimpse into World War I history with this fascinating real photo postcard, capturing an American military installation in France. Titled "Les Américains en France, Installations diverses," the image depicts a series of utilitarian wooden barracks, likely serving as a convalescent camp or base hospital, as detailed in the handwritten message on the reverse. Several individuals, primarily women in period attire, are visible amidst the structures and a vast open field, with telegraph poles stretching into the distance against a backdrop of rolling hills. This postcard offers a poignant connection to the Great War, specifically dated by its October 14, 1918 postmark from the U.S. Army Post Office in France, just weeks before the armistice. The detailed handwritten message from "Minnie" to Mrs. Florence Mills in Rochester, N.Y., describes the buildings as wards, each housing 50-60 convalescent patients, with additional tents for recovery. This unique piece provides valuable insight into the logistical and medical efforts of American forces abroad, making it a significant collectible for military historians and postcard enthusiasts. The  letter + number  in the title is for my inventory system. This tells me what bin and tab your item(s) are in, not the quantity that you are receiving. eBay Standard Envelope  only provides tracking updates when it passes through sorting machines. USPS workers have no way of scanning the barcode. When it marks it as "out for delivery/delivered" it means it has arrived at your local sorting center, not your home address. Depending on your postal route, it could take several days for it to arrive at its final destination. Delivery time can take upwards of 2 full weeks to arrive. Condition: Used.
