Photographic postcard of World War I soldier. The soldier appears standing in front of an exterior wall of lace-curtained windows, visible from the knees up.

The image is vertical while the postcard is horizontal. The back of the postcard has the words, [CARTE POSTALE] on the top. Underneath are sections for [Correspondance] and [Adresse]. Below the Adress are four lines for text that begin with [M]. Written in graphite on the bottom left is the inscription [Infantry 'crossed -rifles' collar disk].
