The photographs, depicting Fort Ringgold, Texas from the air and ground, were used by a member of the Detached Enlisted Men's List stationed at Fort Ringgold during World War II. One postcard was sent by "Bud" to his father S. C. Cowgill of Wabash, Indiana, and is dated Mar 2 1942. Four other postcards have notes by Cowgill on their versos explaining various landmarks depicted, with notes indicating that the photographs were out of date by the time Cowgill was using them.
