James Filipek Post Card to John Sokolik - December 3, 1918
Above is a postcard of the Place de la Carrier in Nancy, France, a temporary residence of King Stanislas Leszczynski, later to become Duke of Lorraine in the mid-1750s.

The postcard was sent by my grandfather, James A. Filipek while he was in the Army of Occupation after WWI to his cousin John K. Sokolik.

A transcription is as follows:

Dear Cousin
Greetings,

Do not know when Uncle Sam will let me go home. Have had many interesting experiences + altho Europe is a fine country, never less I certainly am longing for the good old U. S. A. Hope this will reach you to wish you all a very happy New Year.
