Postcards and photograph, 1917.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50442512

Two picture postcards written by Abram Ward, a World War I soldier recovering at a stateside hospital in November 1917. The postcards are to his family and in them he describes the happenings at the camp. With a front image of a Camp Grant (Illinois) pup tent inspection, Ward warns his mother not to visit he might be moving out at any time. The other postcard is a long panoramic view of Camp Grant facilities. Ward describes these buildings and other happenings at the camp in his narrative to his mother. There is also a photograph in postcard format of two young men in early twentieth century Army uniforms. The men are sitting cross-legged among tress each with an arm slung around the other. A white pencilled marking on the photograph may mean these men are from Co. E.
