This book is a catalog of (mainly) government-issued postal stationery produced by and/or for use by the members and units of the American Expeditionary Forces that served in Europe during WWI. For the most part it does not include the myriad postcards and envelopes provided by the many Service Organizations ranging from the American Red Cross to the Loyal Order of the Moose.
The exception to the exclusion of the Service Organization stationery involves the cards used by members of the AEF to announce their safe arrival overseas and, at the end of the war, return to the US. Because the Service Organizations produced the vast majority of such cards, they are included here along with the government-issued cards. (And because the Service Organizations also produced Safe Arrival cards specifically for sailors, who were not part of the AEF, those cards are treated here as well, in an appendix.)
