There are also 93 picture postcards from Paris, Saint Nazaire, Toul, Le Mans and elsewhere in France and Luxembourg. The other single photo is a relatively poor picture of Private Trout in uniform. Nothing in this collection relates to his unit (Headquarters Company, 110th Infantry, 28th Division) except his own photo and a small published book of drawings of the 28th Division in France by Eugene Gilbert of the 103rd Engineeers.
