THE MARTIAN, France, Dec. 22, 1918 This is a little 8 page newspaper "Published by Organizations at Hospital Center, A.P.O. No. 780 American Expeditionary Forces" near Mars, France, hence the title.
This town became an American hospital complex near the end of WWI, meant to serve up to 40,000 people.
Of curious interest is a hand penned letter written to "Dearest Miss Jane..." and signed by "Albert" obviously to someone back home.
Eight pages, 9 1/2 by 12 1/2 inches, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, some very discrete archival mends within, printed in 3 colors, generally good condition.
