Two postcards from the Great War era. One is trying to get us to buy Liberty Bonds to keep the howitzers thundering at the Huns. They must have been issued to the soldiers as the back says overseas post card and where the stamp goes it says "soldiers mail free". It was never mailed, maybe traveled in some doughboys gear home, it's in pretty rough shape I'm afraid.
The other card is in better shape and also was never used. The one with the tanks was apparently published by the Chicago Daily News, War Postal Card Department.
Tanks were a big "improvement" in warfare that came along during that war and sure have changed in the time since.
