Item Description

Beautiful and unusual real photo postcard showing the French military maneuvers at Cindja Tunisia between May 17 and 22 1909. The image captures the camp structure with officers’ tents at the top and four rows of soldiers’ tents, each sheltering 12 men. The description on the back details the arrangement: tents, rifles placed in front, and the surrounding landscape with the lake visible on the horizon.

This Postcard Combines:

1️⃣ Philatelic and postal value – Properly circulated to France, addressed to a vicar in Oloron (Basses-Pyrénées).
2️⃣ Historical interest – Rare documentation of French colonial military exercises in North Africa prior to World War I.
3️⃣ Social and visual appeal – A striking photographic record of daily life in camp during large-scale maneuvers.

A remarkable and scarce postcard, ideal for collections on French colonial history, Tunisia, military camps, and pre-WWI maneuvers.
