Title: YMCA Postcard for Returning Troops
Description: Front side of a card provided to Soldiers and Sailors for use in reporting their arrival in the United States from Europe. This example, postmarked Hoboken, New Jersey, 14 August 1919, was sent to his family by Richard McLaughlin. He may have been a passenger on USS America (ID # 3006), as this card was obtained with Photo # NH 105777, which is a photograph of that ship. The reverse side of this card is seen in Photo # NH 105778-A-KN. Donation of Charles R. Haberlein Jr., 2008. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
