    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   rare  WWI  French photo postcard showing a French chaplain and stretcher bearer medics entering no man's land at night in search of the wounded.
    I will translate the captions above and below photo.
    Above: " The combat of the Forts of Souville and Douaumont ( 1916 ) "
    Below: " The priest and the stretcher bgearers search for wunded in the night ".
    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.
