| Summary: | This document is a letter written across a series of 2 postcards from Paul C. Arnold to Claud Arnold dated June 29, 1919 from Is-sur-Tille, France. It appears that these postcards were sent with other letters or postcards as the second postcard ends mid-sentence. The first postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France with people visible in front of the building with a caption of "PARIS -- Notre-Dame.". The second postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France with people walking around it with a caption of "PARIS La Tour Eiffel." Paul C. Arnold writes about when he hopes to return home and the flowers growing in France. The White family has ties back to the Arnold family through Stella Arnold White. Arnold family siblings Stella Arnold White, Paul C. Arnold, Claud Arnold, and Ada Arnold Sides stayed in close contact throughout their adult lives. Stella Arnold White married Leonard H. White Sr., an inventor who started the Birmingham Fabricating Company. During the First World War, Paul Arnold served in the military with the American Expeditionary Forces and saw action in France. Leonard H. White Sr. also enlisted during the First World War but was not sent overseas.
