Surviving envelopes and postcards document their service and show locations served, military rank, service role, and unit numbers that help fill gaps due to the 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center. 1 This paper presents five envelopes and a postcard sent home to Virginia with basic genealogical details on the senders and recipients. The author purchased four items on the internet for $5 to $15 each, and two items are from postal history vendors who have given permission for use of their photographs to Philgen.org, the philatelic genealogy web site and database ( 2 All locations are in Virginia except where noted. As with any source of genealogical information, old envelopes and postcards must be studied in combination with other sources before reaching a conclusion. Mrs. Robert J. Hawkins of Monarat received an envelope from Pvt [Private] Walter P. Hawkins, Co[mpany] M, 116th Inf[antry] postmarked January 1, 1919 [figure 1]. Sarah F. (Mrs. Robert J.) and 1. Walter W.
