description This document is a letter written across a series of 2 postcards from Paul C. Arnold dated June 5, 1919 from Is-sur-Tille, 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. These postcards were probably sent with other postcards or letters as the second postcard ends mid-sentence. The first postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of a rocky mountain at Marcilly-sur-Tille and people standing in the foreground with a caption of "MARCILLY-sur-TILLE (Côte-d'Or) - Le Mont" and a second caption of "L. Bardet, édit. Is-sur-Tille". The second postcard shows a black and white image of a Red Cross canteen with a nurse serving soldiers with a caption of "FROM AN AMERICAN RED CROSS L. O. C. CANTEEN IN FRANCE". Paul C. Arnold writes about his hopes to return home soon, his visit to the rocky landscape shown on the first postcard, and his encounter with German prisoners of war. 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.
