Postcard, Picture

Photo postcard bearing a sepia-toned photo taken in Europe during World War I of a group of five soldiers standing in front of a tent. The soldiers are all standing in a row and facing the camera. Two additional men stand in the shadows inside the tent. A stretcher leans against front of the tent, and stenciled lettering on it identifies it as belonging to a U.S. Army engineer unit. A stack of additional stretchers lean against the right side of the tent. The lower right corner of the image contains the number "51," and the lower left corner features a circular mark which reads, "R-T-O, 310-602, ENG'R'S." The verso is unused.
