GI Postcards

[ZacharyB]

Greetings Friends,

Here are some postcards that I've been meaning to share for a while. They are all from the same GIs grouping. Most of them are North Africa themed and a couple of the later ones are European. I found the Casablanca cards to be quite fascinating.

Enjoy,

Notice his notation there about a Model-A Ford. Talk about taking in all the details.

I love the comment about snails in postcard 11! I wonder if anyone knows if this restaurant is still around?

19. Last one. I know these are probably not very rare but to me they are fascinating nonetheless, especially with the little personalized notations by the GI.

Thanks for Looking,

Chet,

Thanks! I thought a lot about the movie Casablanca while looking through these. I understand that someone recently opened a restaurant in Casablanca named "Ricks" and it commemorates the movie. Can anyone confirm that?

All the Best Mates,

Thanks Tom! Do you are anyone else have an idea of how these postcards rate on the rarity scale? I'm not a big postcard guy, but I've never seen these before. Just wondering if they are common or not.

Thanks,
