Photographic postcard from the First World War front sent by Felix Peritz, December 31, 1915.

When World War I broke out in 1914, Jews were also drafted into the German army, and among them was 25-year-old Felix Peritz. His grandson Joseph Pearce recalls that Felix went to war as if it were an adventure and was proud of his service as a non-commissioned medical officer. He sent this photo picturing himself surrounded by other members of his unit on the Western Front, as a postcard to his family containing New Year’s wishes.
