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.
Pre Wwii Us Navy Captain War? Eagles Insignia Marine Corps Colonel 1930’s
ORIGINAL PRE WORLD WAR II UNITED STATES NAVY CAPTAIN/MARINE CORPS COLONEL “WAR EAGLE” RANK INSIGNIA, 1-1/2 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK W/ LOCKING CATCH. The insignia for a colonel is a silver eagle which is a stylized representation of the eagle dominating the Great Seal of the United States (which is the coat of arms of the United States). As on the Great Seal, the eagle has a U. Shield superimposed on its chest and is holding an olive branch and bundle of arrows in its talons. However, in simplification of the Great Seal image, the insignia lacks the scroll in the eagle’s mouth and the rosette above its head. On the Great Seal, the olive branch is always clutched in the eagle’s right-side talons, while the bundle of arrows is always clutched in the left-side talons. The head of the eagle faces towards the olive branch, rather than the arrows, advocating peace rather than war. As a result, the head of the eagle always faces towards the viewer’s left. Some colonel eagles from the 1920s to the 1950s faced the arrows, though this is no longer done. The full-sized colonel eagle is exactly two inches in diameter from the tips of each wing. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!

The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal was awarded for service during operations in Nicaragua from 1926 to 1933. An earlier campaign medal, the Nicaraguan Campaign Medal, was awarded for service in Nicaragua 1912. The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal was considered a separate award from the first version of the medal and Navy regulations permitted the receipt and wear of both decorations, if so authorized. Southerland, who had been in overall command of both Nicaraguan campaigns, was the first recipient of both versions of the Nicaraguan Campaign Medal. The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal appeared as a medal suspended from a red ribbon with several white stripes. The medal displayed a woman (representing Columbia), armed with a sword, defending two other figures with a cloak. The medal bore the words Second Nicaraguan Campaign with the dates 1926 – 1930 displayed on the medal’s edges (although the medal was authorized until 1933). No devices were authorized.
