Front of postcard shows photograph of Black troops in rows with guns at attention. Caption below image reads “Colored Troops. Guard Mount, Camp Dodge, Iowa”
Back: left margin, printed “Photography By Walter L. Smith, Marshalltown, Iowa”

The back writing is blank.

Postcard is related to one with a message, sent to Ethel Bains, titled in the archive as “Black Infantrymen at Camp Dodge,” but that card shows the same group of men with their guns raised.
