Chatueau d’If

Chatueau d’If

Another postcard sent from grandpa to grandma while he was stationed in France with the US Army Air Force during World War II.  This one is dated 31 Jan 1945, and grandpa notes on the back that “I have visited this place.”  This place is the Chateau d’If, famous for having been a prison island, and during WWII, it was invaded by the German army.  We can see from the front that a word was cut out of the postcard, likely the location name, Marseille, although the back has an inscription by the printer, “Edition La Cigogne, 18, Rue Glandeves, Marseille,” which gives away the location anyway.
