This envelope, postmarked January 13, 1946 through U.S. Army Base Post Office No. 7, was sent by PFC R. Moon of Casual Company 37 to Miss Marianne Sammiet of Richmond, California. The handwritten 'free' notation reflects the free-mail privilege granted to American servicemembers, a small but meaningful benefit that kept soldiers connected to loved ones across vast distances during and after the war.
