    Content Description

    This collection contains 33 postcards from Robert E. Wilkinson primarily depicting locations around France during the First World War. 23 of the postcards are blank or are signed "From Joseph." Eight postcards have brief notes written by Joseph, but they do not have a salutation. They also lack postmarks indicating the postcards were never sent through the mail. Two postcards are written in French and one seems to be signed by a "Marie."
