Vintage RPPC WWI Era Soldier Military Uniform Full Length Real Photo Postcard
Original vintage real photo postcard featuring a young man posing outdoors in a military-style uniform. He stands with his hands on his hips, wearing a button-front shirt with two chest pockets, a military belt, trousers, wrapped leggings and lace-up boots.
A chevron-style insignia is visible on his upper sleeve. The uniform suggests a World War I-era photograph, although the man's military affiliation and exact date have not been confirmed.
The reverse has an unused divided back headed “CARTE POSTALE,” with no correspondence, postage or postmark.
