WWII Postcard, "Portale del Gaggini, Agrigento" -- Handwritten Letter from Sicily, August 1943, with Later Forwarding Note
A wartime postcard from Sicily, August 1943, illustrates both the personal experience of an amphibious support serviceman during Operation Husky and the remarkable, roundabout journey of military mail -- passing through censors, forwarding stations, and family hands from Sicily to California to Texas to Florida before finally being preserved in the McAleer family collection.
