content: Photographic postcard of two unidentified World War I soldiers. Two soldiers stand facing the camera in full uniform: high-collared center-buttoned jackets, wool trousers, and wool puttees wrapped from ankle to knee. Each soldier stands leaning against a long legged table in the center against a studio backdrop with leaves and foliage. The soldier on the right of the image has a mustache. The top left corner has two distinct crease marks where the post card had previously been folded. The image is vertical while the postcard is horizontal. The back of the postcard has the words, [CARTE POSTALE] on the top in faded letters. The top is covered in brown lines that obscure the title. Below are four lines for text that begin with [M]. Written, covering the entire postcard, is the inscription in graphite, [1918 - 1919 / 1st world war / my brother on left].
