Realphoto Postcard of Four Identified African-American Officers in France During World War One

France, 1918. Gelatin silver print measuring 5 ½ x 3 ½ inches. Printed on French carte postale paper. Fine condition. A photograph taken in France of four sergeants in the Co. B 340th Service Battalion. Three of the subjects are identified: Sgt. Eugene Brown of Youngstown, Ohio; Sgt. George Guthrie of Wichita, Kansas; and Bruce V. Brown of Springfield, Ohio. The photograph is printed on French postcard stock. The group is wearing overcoats and appear in front of an old building. Overall a compelling image that should be of interest to scholars of African-American military contributions in France during the conflict.
