Being a WWI collector, primarily medical theme; I lived in France for several years and found many interesting WWI era pieces both medical and general military.
Up for auction is an original WWI French photo postcard showing French stretcher bearer medics transporting a wounded soldier. The mix of uniforms in the photo indicate it dates from mid to late 1915 when the french were changing to the horizon blue uniform.
Caption under photo translates as : " Stretcher bearers transporting a wounded "
This is the real thing and NOT a repro. Nice piece of WWI history..
I will be listing other cards... and I do combine shipping.

Please await invoice before paying!
I will probably send this on a small stiff piece of cardboard in a padded envelope... hopefully the post office will not consider this a package since they sometimes try to do that is an envelope is rigid. When the post office feels that the "letter" is actually a "package" ... because it is 1/4 of an inch thick.. the cost jumps to
almost
4 bucks!! Was never like that just a few years ago!
For now, I will just say 4 bucks to ship and will also try to see if I can safely fit in a letter and perhaps send for a couple dollars.... but best not to do so... also if send as a package... then it is not only safer but tracked. As a collector, I do not like the idea of sending 100 year old collectibles in an untracked flimsy envelope!! I do combine shipping and usually sending one card is the same shipping cost as sending, for example 4-5 cards.
Please, once again , await invoice or I may cancel your win.
