Selling postcards to soldiers

Printing companies that had used templates to make "local" postcards for tourists found they could use the same templates during the First World War, substituting a unit name in place of the city.

"Greetings from 154th Battalion"; "I'm stopping in 129th Wentworth Battalion"; "Dere iss no Girl in 161st Battalion"; "I'm having the time of my life here at 176th Battalion"
