Description: This is a postcard brought back from WWI by a US Navy sailor named Joseph Mondzelski (girlfriend Yetta) who served aboard destroyer tender USS Black Hawk and was a member of the ship�??s band (bugler). Type & Size: A 5.5x3 original photograph. Condition: The back side of most postcards in this lot have remnants from being glued in a scrapbook. This postcard depicts a submarine, labeled ?Yankee Sub,? operating in the ocean, likely during its service period in the early 20th century. In the background, a cargo ship can be observed, giving context to the maritime setting of the image. The photograph was presumably captured around 1918, reflecting a moment in naval operations during World War I. The card has signs of aging and wear, indicating its historical significance. Submarines like the one shown in the image played a crucial role in naval warfare during World War I, conducting reconnaissance and engaging enemy vessels. The "Yankee Sub" may represent a U.S. Navy submarine that was active during this time. Submarines were pivotal in disrupting enemy supply lines, which often included targeting cargo ships, such as the one visible in the background of the photograph. This strategic approach significantly transformed naval battles, highlighting the emerging importance of undersea warfare.
