| THE FOLLOWING REPRESENT SOME OF THE MORE COMMON EXAMPLES YOU WILL SEE ON WWI A.E.F. ENVELOPE COVERS. MORE EXAMPLES WILL BE ADDED AT A LATER DATE. |
| "COMMON" ENVELOPE |
Many WWI letters written overseas will simply bear an address, name of the writer, and a
censor stamp upon which an officer's signature is written. Officers censored their own mail,
but not enlisted personnel. This envelope is uncommon only in the respect that it was from
a Marine. Note the "US Marines Mail" written in the upper right corner.
