This photo postcard shows another WWI "patched" soldier.
The patch is hard to see, but appears to be the 1st Infantry Division or "Big Red One". Only part of the patch is visible, but it appears to correspond.
In addition to the patch, the soldier has a Patriotic US Flag at his feet that adds interest in the image.
This one is postally unused with an AZO stamp box.
