File:1 - Carte postale de Raymond Traumann à ses parents 4 Août 1940.pdf

The post card, as with the previous ones that he sent, were photographs of the Camp de Bourg-Lastic. It seems however, that this might have been one of or the only one that was available to use which could be deduced from his apology for the coloring, as if he had no other choice. Or, he could have only used this one because it showed a new photo of the camp unlike the other ones which might have been the same.

For the photograph itself, it was the entry of the camp. On the left, behind the roof, was the "command post". On the right for the 2nd house was the house that housed the 2nd Company.

He writes the address to which he was sending the post card, specifically to his father, and writes the address to himself. He also underlines "Camp de Lastic (P.-de-D.). He starts by addressing his parents, and tells them rich idea, the prunes feeling or rather having felt good. This indicates that his parents suggested sending him prunes or had sent him prunes.

He then talks about how the x marked building was the one that had the honor of housing the 2nd company, and marked such building on the front with the x. He also marked the "PC" or Poste de Commandement meaning Command Post. He also marked a word with an arrow going to the left.

Next he wrote about how there isn't any news, and that in his hand he had received their "good" of 22 June, missing current news.

He finally signs off the card.

Something that is noticeable is that he did not write the date he wrote it, and when he would have sent it on 5 August telling from the stamp. Telling from his letter to Jacques on 2 August saying that he was going to write the next day or the day after the next day, and that usually he sends these post cards the day after they were written, these are evidence that he had written this on 4 August.
