Very odd to find postcards with anti-war or anti-US sentiment from this era, particularly featuring Uncle Sam. This one States "That's my Uncle San and maybe I'm not proud of him". After the Alien and Sedition Acts were passed a person could get jail time for that kind of remark. Hard to find info on this particular card. $20.00WW1 US Navy USS Rochester Armed Guard Grouping

Consists of his Carpenter's Mate jumper with 3rd Class crow (he would attain the rank of Chief Carpenter's Mate), photo of him as a 2nd Class, His victory medal with armed guard bar which comes with the award document signed by LCDR Daniel E. Barbey who later was a Vice Admiral and lead the amphibious landings for Gen. MacArthur in the SW Pacific during WW2.

Some mothing to the jumper otherwise everything is in very good to excellent condition. $295.00WW1 US Army Canteen Set

I found these together in a local antique shop but missed out on the soldier's uniform and other items. They are from a French girl to a soldier living in Montana. Some begin with "My little Andre" and end "Little Marcel". They're mostly in French with some English. I've never been able to identify who Little Andre was, but the postcards are touching and I wonder if fate ever brought them together. Beautiful set of colorized cards. $75.00WW1 Sons in Service Liberty Bell Pin
