WWI Soldier's Mail Envelope: Pvt. Willis W. Wagener, Co. B, 30th Engineers, A.E.F. France, to J.A. Wagener, California, July 1918
An envelope from Pvt. Willis W. Wagener of the 30th Engineers, American Expeditionary Forces, mailed from France in July 1918 and marked 'Passed as Censored.' All soldier mail during WWI was reviewed by an officer to prevent disclosure of military information, a practice reflected in the censorship stamp and countersignature seen here. Project: 218140
