    Description

    USMC French-made postcard showing the arrival of some of the first Americans of the AEF to arrive in France.
    The post card mistakenly calls them soldiers but their Marine EGAs (Eagle Globe and Anchor) are clearly visible on their campaign hats. This postcard was documented in the WWI Series "To Hell with the Kaiser"
    The story of the American Army and Marine Corps  in training and in France is told in the books " To Hell with the Kaiser: America Prepares for War Volumes 1 and 2"   Books not included in this auction but available elsewhere.
