Not dated, and not cancelled with a postmark, but the style of the postcard, and
what the soldier says makes me think WW I era. it's an awful cute postcard with
a little boy dressed as a soldier thinking of home. Marked on the back:
"Series 567 War Correspondence". Here is what the soldier had to say:
"Dear Folks: Camp Dix, June 24 - Monday and no move yet and we will be here
for another day any way. This is a funny army. I wish a thousand times that I
was out of it. I some times get to feeling that it is a two cent affair. But I'm
in the Army now and have no right to my own opinion any more. Perhaps if I could
see the why of things it would be different. I went on a hike for drill today.

inches. $6.50 item #1136
