WW1 US AEF Jewish Welfare Board Soldier Mail Home Postcard

The “WW1 US AEF Jewish Welfare Board Soldier Mail Home Postcard” is a poignant piece of history that reflects the unique efforts made to support Jewish soldiers during World War I. This un-used postcard was issued by the Jewish Welfare Board (JWB) and specifically designed for members of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). The front features patriotic imagery and symbols associated with the JWB, intended to boost morale and provide a sense of connection to home.
