Envelope from a letter sent home by Private Willis W. Wagener of the 1st Gas Regiment, American Expeditionary Forces, while serving in France during World War I. Bearing the American Y.M.C.A. emblem and a military censor's stamp, this envelope illustrates both the wartime postal support provided to soldiers and the routine censorship applied to outgoing mail from the front.
