Military postcard

• mailed 1910
• titled:  Brigadier-General - US ARMY
• lightly embossed
• showing one uniformed man up close
• has red, white and blue border
• Raphael Tuck and Sons EDUCATIONAL SERIES - no 404 US Army
• back:  The rand of Brigadier-General is equivalent to that of Commodore of the Navy - a naval grade which, by the way, ceased in 1899 to exist as a grade of rank on the active list of the Navy.  A brigadier-General receives $6,000 a year with allowances, when in active service and $4,500 a year when retired.  The appropriate command for a Brigadier-General is a brigade, though many are now assigned to administrative positions in charge of geographical districts in the military establishment.  A Brigadier-General is entitled to a salute of 11 guns.  The accompanying picture shows him in the service uniform of olive drab, which has been adopted by the military forces of the U S, because of its comparative invisibility.

• Please note that the majority of the cards are over 50 years old and as such, are sold AS IS. Tears will be noted but it would be too timely to note each fault on every card.  If condition is important to you - contact us with our number in the title & what it is that you would like to know or what it is that you would like pictured more closely.
• Again, because of the age of the cards - they are noted as being USED - no matter if they are written on or not.
