description This document is a postcard from Paul C. Arnold to Stella Arnold White dated May 24 from Reims, France. No year is included in the date, but based on other correspondence it was almost certainly sent in 1919. It appears that this postcard was sent with another postcard or letter as it has a number "1" written at the top and ends mid-sentence. The postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of the bombardment of Reims in which the city's cathedral, Notre-Dame du Reims, features prominently. The postcard includes several captions, with a first caption of "REIMS dans ses années de bombardements 1914-18" accompanied by an English translation of "Bombardment of Rheims", a second caption of "Collection G. Dutois, Reims-Reproduction interdite", a third caption of "Visé Épernay, 794", and a fourth caption of "356.- La Cathédrale au milieu des foyers d'incendie (vue de la rue Libergier)" with an English translation of "The Cathedral amidst the burning quarters (seen from the Libergier Street)". Paul C. Arnold writes about his travels to Reims and the use of German prisoners to clean the wreckage. 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.
