Every amateur historian of World War Two knows the importance of letters. Americans kept in touch throughout the war mainly by writing letters to one another. Letters kept loved ones in touch with the daily happenings of soldier's lives and reminded them that they were still in their thoughts. Much of military life was new to a generation of men who had been recently drafted away from their civilian lives. Often bored and alone, soldiers consoled themselves with correspondence from home, their parents or their girlfriends and wives. Mail call was the most important time of the day for many of the new draftees, and young boys who had never been away from home could escape the drudgery of military life with just a few lines from their mothers.
As a result, companies and the government looked to either profit from or assist soldiers. Different letterheads, envelopes and postcards were developed to amuse or educate civilians. The following postcards illustrate a small sampling of types manufactured during World War Two.
