description This document is a postcard from Paul C. Arnold dated March 31, 1919 from Menton, France. No recipient is identified, but it was most likely sent to one of his sisters: Stella Arnold White, Ada Arnold Sides, or Claud Arnold. The postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of the village of Sainte-Agnès in Menton, France with buildings and a mountain in the background. It has two captions at the bottom, one that reads "109 ENV. DE MENTON.-Sainte-Agnès et le Righi (altitude 670 m.).-LL." and another that appears to read "Selecta". Paul C. Arnold writes to describe the scenery depicted in the image. 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.
