Description
Summary:This document is a postcard that was almost certainly collected by Paul C. Arnold around the time of his World War I military service based on the handwriting. It does not appear to have been sent to anyone by mail but does contain a handwritten name of "Sgt. Dudley R. Glass" who may have been an informal creator or recipient of the postcard. The postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of the Seven Oaks Dam near Redlands, California with no caption. There is no message. 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.
