description This blank postcard was almost certainly collected by Paul C. Arnold during his military service in France from 1918 to 1919. The postcard shows a sepia image of a photograph of soldiers eating and socializing on the deck of a ship. These were most likely American soldiers sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to or from the European theater where Paul C. Arnold served. The image has no caption. 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.
