description This document is a postcard from Paul C. Arnold from France that he most likely sent to one of his sisters, Stella Arnold White, Ada Arnold Sides, or Claud Arnold. This postcard was probably sent with other postcards or letters, as it begins and ends mid-sentence and has a hand-written number "5" at the top. Although it is undated, it was almost certainly written when Paul C. Arnold was stationed in France from 1918 to 1919. The postcard shows a photograph of a portion of the Pantheon de la Guerre painting by Pierre Carrier-Belleuse and Auguste François-Marie Gorguet. It has three captions: "Copyright by the Pantheon de la Guerre-1918", "P. Carrier-Belleuse.", and "A. F. Gorguet." Paul C. Arnold writes about traveling to Paris, France and visiting the Latin Quarter there. 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.
