SEPIA SATURDAY # 148 RPPC Men in Military Uniforms WWW1

Sepia Saturday today is about uniforms, bikes or maybe guns.  This party is put on by Sepia Saturday of the UK.
My posting is all about the uniform, lots of you men in uniforms. So many men climbing the stairs, laying on the ground and even 2 young men leaning out the windows.
This is a vintage real picture post card that has no stamp area or any identification. Two of the men have bands with a cross on their sleeves.


Not sure who these men are or what county they are from but my guess is WWW1 because of the post card having no stamp area and this came in a group of foreign post cards.
Take a look and let me know if you have any information to share about the uniforms.
Thanks for stopping by. Click on the Sepia Saturday link to see what others are sharing. Grace

Vintage Postcard Bataille de la Marne 1914








Some time ago I picked up at an estate some vintage World War 1 era postcards. This one is listed as #115 Bataille de la Marne ... Heiltz le Maurupt with the date of 1914 at top of postcard.

Heiltz-le-Maurupt is a commune in the Marne department in north-eastern France.

Shown is a beautiful old building with rubble around it. Sad to see a beautiful building in ruins. Back of post card is unused but is brown at edges.
I will be posting more vintage postcards from this time period over the next few days.

Thanks to all who stop by.. Grace

Visiting Saskatchewan 1943 With A Vintage Postcard


Today's posting is a vintage look at Saskatchewan Canada. The view is Second avenue looking north. Street scene shows drug store, cafe and other businesses. The cars parked are so beautiful in their vintage glory.

This is another family postcard passed down to me from my parents. It is written May of 1943. My father writing to my mother. They were not married until October in a whirlwind romance. They met in May and my father courted her before he left and through postcards. He says " I miss you more than I thought I would. "

They were married over 50 years. I am so glad that this post card was also saved.


Thanks for stopping by... Hope that you will take a moment and view some of my other postcards. Grace

Pretty Vintage 1900's Postcard With Darling Children Holding Pink Roses Swedish?


What a pretty vintage post card. I wish I could translate but so far no luck. Searched at http://www.google.com/ and found Gratulation is greeting but no luck on the other word. Oh well so pretty and these children are darling in their outfits and holding pretty pink roses.


There is no post mark and is addressed to the Dahl family of Bark River Michigan. From the early 1900's


Hope you enjoyed seeing it and will stop by again .. Grace
