Description:

Postcard from musketeer Paul Pommer, addressed to the family of Gust. (Gustav) Pommer in Frankfurt, Germany. Dated November 18, 1916 and postmarked from Darmstadt, Übungsplatz, presumably on November 19. Contains details about his day and the amount of men stationed at Darmstadt as well as their ages. The way Pommer writes about the positive influence of the older men may indicate he is one of the younger soldiers.
