WWI Postcard Pictures from France

These are picture postcards found with my grandfather’s World War I journal.  The other side is blank except for the pre-printed Carte Postale (French for post card) .  They were not mailed home.  They show some of the lumber and milling activities of the 20th Engineers stationed in France in 1917-19.
