    Description

    This auction is for a lot of 5 new identical postcards produced from the Archives of Wartime Press' "Covers of WWII Series".  The postcard's image has been digitally remastered from the cover of the:
    February 1943
    Our Army magazine
    The cover's description printed on its reverse is:
    Our Army
    February 1943
    Vol. XV No. 2 ....... Cover: Disguised as a tropical grasshopper or whatever you may call it, Private First Class John Lombardi adds a bit of finishing makeup to his physiognomy so that he will blend perfectly into the green vegetation of the tropical terrain. He wears a sniper's suit which is super duper au fait when it comes to operating in the jungles. Our troops in the Solomons, New Guinea, and other tropical spots use this type of camouflage to very good advantage. This picture is used by Our Army courtesy Public Relations Office, Camp Blanding, Florida.
    For the collector, historian, veteran, society, reunion, event or show, the collection of "Covers of WWII Series" brings back the memories and history of this great conflict.
    These postcards have been produced on heavy glossy stock paper and the watermark appears on the eBay listing only, not the postcard.  The image on eBay is not as clear as the actual postcard's quality.
    These Postcards also will fit nicely in a 5x7 picture frame for display.  Plus can be used to decorated scrapbooks or photo albums.
