Description

This black and white picture postcard features the regiment housing of tents and cabins in an open field with trees behind them. "This is about where our Co. street is" is handwritten sideways on the left of the card with an arrow pointing to a row of tents behind the cabins. "151 Infantry" is handwritten in white ink along the bottom center. "Young 5" is handwritten in white ink in the lower right corner. The back of the postcard identifies the item as a postcard with the photographer's name and address stamped on the left and indication for stamp, address, and correspondence placement; the inscription written sideways on the left reads "This is a view of our Regiment. There are 15 Co.s in a Reg."[sic]; "1.00" is written in pencil in the upper right.
