Description
Original U.S. Army notice, 1p. 8vo., Saint Geneve, Fariest De Facq. France, [n.d.], sent to the ‘Headquarters 1st Battalion, 351st Field Artillery’, a cease-fire notice. The message reads in part: ‘All firing will cease at 10:45 A.M. November 11th, 1918. Battery commanders will notify every man I their organization that they will under no conditions have any intercourse with the enemy in any way while the Armistice is in force. Battery commanders will check up their batteries and organize their positions, find shelter for them that are as comfortable as possible, but keep the organization in such shape that it can move on short notice...’. The notice is printed on cardstock bearing an American flag at the top and a red and white border encompasses the text. Very good.
