Légende

A photographic postcard of Oscar Calmeise (far right) and five other unidentified soldiers during World War One. The group is posed sitting atop a pile of stones in Verdun, France. The men are all looking at the camera. Five men sit in a row, while a sixth man sits below the others. They are all wearing helmets and uniforms. To the right of the image a caption, written by hand in ink reads: [While passing shells going over head, Verdun Hill, July 1918]. The back of the photographic postcard is unused. There is preprinted text that reads: [Carte Postale / Correspondance / Adresse]. At center there is a maker’s mark that is almost illegible.
