Joy and Happiness

The printed greeting on the front of this postcard is Radostné vánoce, which is Merry Christmas in the Czech language. The back is covered with writing in Czech. The message begins with Radostné a štástné, which translates as Joy and happiness or Joyful and happy. The rest of the message is too hard for me to read, but I recognized the date 1949 preceded by v novém Roce (in the New Year).

I especially like this postcard because the doll reminds me of one of my first dolls which was very similar. My doll was named Mabel. I am now guessing that my mother chose that name. I Googled "doll named Mabel" and discovered that there were dolls named Mabel when my mother was young. The card also reminds me of my family's Christmas ornaments, some of which were made in Czechoslovakia.

Wishing You a Merry Christmas & Joy and Happiness in the New Year

Kitchen in U. S. Army Barracks

This postcard of the "Kitchen in U. S. Army Barracks" was published by Curt Teich. It is labeled  U. S. Army Cantonment Series No. 68. This seems to be a large general series of postcards illustrating Army life in the World War I era.The postcard does not identify a specific camp or location.

This particular card was mailed from Des Moines, Iowa on November 3, 1918 with a 2¢ stamp. The stamp indicates that the sender apparently was not a soldier who could have mailed the card "free" via Ssoldiers Mail. The message is typical of the type used to fill up space on a postcard without really saying anything:

Dear Raymond: I rec'd your letter and was glad to hear from you. I am well and glad to hear you are the same. I haven't much news to write. Tell all the folks hello for me. I must close as ever your friend. Charlie
