Camion cartoons a kind of follow-up to the interesting images posted by dj a couple of days ago: letters home (with cartoons) from Kirkland H Day, a member of an American camion unit in 1918. A bit of a contrast with the postcards my own grandad sent home, which generally read: "Hoping this finds you as it leaves me, in the pink". Occasionally (at times of special emotional stress?) he would add "Send fags."

  • Pleggy, thank you. Wonderful post.
  • yes very cool. monkeyfilter: at any rate, the Huns are beginning to squeal. ha!
  • Pretty good. Weird racist stuff in some of them, but definitely a good picture of Yanks at war...
  • Gives an interesting snapshot of some fun language usage :)
  • That's some cool stuff man, the wwII disney and WB cartoons are cool too. They both made war time propaganda. I got some of the WB cartoons. This stuff is good too.
