description This document is a postcard from Paul C. Arnold to Ada Arnold Sides from Reims, France. It is not dated, but based on other correspondence it was most likely written and sent in May 1919. The postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of ruined buildings in Reims, France and a woman walking down the street in front of the wreckage with a caption of "Photot. Marcel Delboy, Bordeaux", a second caption of "4. REIMS (Marne)- Maison en ruines démolie par les obus allemands (cliché déc. 1918) M. D.", and a third caption containing an English translation of "House in ruins demolished by German shells". Paul C. Arnold writes to say that he is in Reims, France. 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.
