VERY RARE, 1914 ANZAC SOLDIERS BATHING, DARDANELLES, TURKEY CENSORED POSTCARD. IN THE DARDANELLES – Returning from the trenchesthe soldiers take a bath. AUX DARDANELLES – Au retour tranchees lessoldats prennent un bain. ANZAC (The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) soldiers enjoy a swim after returning from the trenches of the Dardanelles. Vise, Paris No 1257. Paris, France, 1890s-1930(Publisher, Printer, Photographer) The Parisian printing firm of E. The company was amajor publisher of heliotype, black-and-white postcards. Posted in 1919 by G. Army to Miss Ethel McQueen, Southern Pines, N. Are re-routed to 1219 48. Army Postal Service, and posted marked February 1919, N. Passed As Censored by B, G, Roberts. World War I (Censorship). Censorship played an important role in the First World War. [15] Each country involved utilized some form of censorship. This was a way to sustain an atmosphere of ignorance and give propaganda a chance to succeed. [15] In response to the war, the United States Congress. Passed the Espionage Act of 1917 and Sedition Act of 1918. These gave broad powers to the government to censor the press through the use of fines, and later any criticism of the government, army, or sale of war bonds. Postal control was eventually introduced in all of the armies, to find the disclosure of military secrets and test the morale of soldiers. [15] In Allied countries, civilians were also subjected to censorship. [15] French censorship was modest and more targeted compared to the sweeping efforts made by the British and Americans. [15] In one week alone, the San Antonio post office processed more than 75,000 letters, of which they controlled 77 percent (and held 20 percent for the following week). Soldiers on the front developed strategies to circumvent censors. [16] Some would go on “home leave” and take messages with them to post from a remote location. [16] Those writing postcards in the field knew they were being censored, and deliberately held back controversial content and personal matters. [16] Those writing home had a few options including free, government-issued field postcards, cheap, picture postcards, and embroidered cards meant as keepsakes. [17] Unfortunately, censors often disapproved of picture postcards. [17] In one case, French censors reviewed 23,000 letters and destroyed only 156 (although 149 of those were illustrated postcards). [17]Censors in all warring countries also filtered out propaganda that disparaged the enemy or approved of atrocities. [15] For example, German censors prevented postcards with hostile slogans such as “Jeder Stoß ein Franzos”(“Every hit a Frenchman”) among others. Card and image found only in museums (without Censorship Stamp). Condition is pretty good for age and history of this unique card. See photos for details. Please look at each photo.

If you need some time to pay, please inform me and we’ll come to a deal. I write in English, German, French and Dutch (and try to in other languages;). Preferred when you are from Europe. Please ask before you pay. Size 57 cm marked liner. This helmet appeared in 1939 and was designated as model 39. It was rarely photographed during the short period of peace that has known this helmet. After the defeat of the French army in 1940 and the signing of the Armistice in June, this model remained in staffing within the buildings assigned to both sides. One side residual forces loyal to the Government of Pétain, and on the other side within the naval forces of the free France rows alongside the allies. Thus, the model helmet 39 remained in staffing throughout the period of the second world war, and its production will be resumed in the aftermath of the war for the needs of the Navy in faction in the far East. It would seem that the 39 Navy model was only manufactured by Dunois Vincennes. See the pictures and take a look at my other ads please. Dieser Helm erschien 1939 und wurde als Modell 39 bezeichnet. In der kurzen Friedenszeit, die diesen Helm gekannt hat, wurde er selten fotografiert. Nach der Niederlage der französischen Armee 1940 und der Unterzeichnung des Waffenstillstands im Juni blieb dieses Modell in der Besetzung der beiden Seiten zugewiesenen Gebäude bestehen. Auf der einen Seite verbleibende Kräfte, die der Regierung von Pétain treu ergeben sind, auf der anderen Seite innerhalb der Seestreitkräfte des freien Frankreichs reihen sich neben den Alliierten. So blieb der Modellhelm 39 während der gesamten Zeit des zweiten Weltkrieges im Personalbestand, und seine Produktion wird nach dem Krieg für den Bedarf der Marine in der Fernostfraktion wieder aufgenommen. Es scheint, dass das 39 Navy-Modell nur von Dunois Vincennes hergestellt wurde. Sehen Sie sich die Bilder an und werfen Sie einen Blick auf meine anderen Angebote.

Après la défaite de l’armée française en 1940 et la signature de l’armistice en juin, ce modèle est resté en dotation au sein des bâtiments affectés de part et d’autre. D’un côté les forces résiduelles fidèles au Gouvernement Pétain, et de l’autre au sein des forces navales de la France libre rament aux côtés des alliés. Ainsi, le casque modèle 39 est resté en dotation pendant toute la période de la seconde guerre mondiale, et sa production sera reprise au lendemain de la guerre pour les besoins de la Marine en faction en Extrême-Orient. Il semblerait que le modèle 39 Navy n’ait été fabriqué que par Dunois Vincennes. Voir les photos et jeter un oeil à mes autres annonces s’il vous plaît.

Almost all the pieces were maker marked M. After examining this set, it seems clear that this mixture of Patt. 25 was both intentional and original to the equipment.
