description This document is a postcard from Paul C. Arnold to Ada Arnold Sides dated Oct. 19, '18 postmarked in Bordeaux, France. The postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of bags of food being loaded into railcars and a man walking down the line with a caption of "We eat lots of chow over here, and Liberty Bonds pay for it". There is an additional caption on the other side of "Bolster the Line with Liberty Bonds". Paul Arnold writes to his sister that he received her letter, is feeling fine, and wants her to take care of the children. 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.
