Here is a World War I Souvenir of France Post Card.   The Bonne Fete "Happy Day" Post Card was sent 4 Days after November 11, 1918 Armistice on his 21st birthday.  The Doughboy is "somewhere in France" sending an upbeat note home to Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Named with service number and unit identifications (can not make out the meanings of the alpha numerics) from a soldier in the AEF in the US Reserves.  Mentions he is now in a terrific encampment built by Americans.  He wishes his father a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas. and Happy New Year.  Really nice Censor Stamp and Military Mail Cancellation.  The Post Card is in about fair condition and is 104 years old.
