C 1915 PC * AMERICAN SOLDIER CROSSES BORDER TO SEE SWEETHEART MEXICAN REVOLUTION

Description: Featured is a c 1915 postcard titled: "An American Soldier Crosses the Border to see his Mexican Sweetheart". Known to have been published by H H Stratton during the period of the Mexican Revolution. A soldier engaged in such activity would have been vulnerable; not a prudent move in what was a volatile conflict w/and ever changing landscape, especially relative to American engagement during the conflict. * The PC is not a real photo as the Photo Paper backing would have one believe. H H Stratton did this with several of Litho images he published related to the Mexican Revolution. The Chattanooga Firm was only in business from 1908-1915.
