Valcartier Camp, Quebec WWI Postcard Exhibit. An astounding collection (actually a 1 frame exhibit - 16 pages) featuring 31 postcards showing the Militia Camp at Valcartier, Quebec during World War One. A variety of used & unused cards, each selected for both quality and condition by a very discerning collector. Valcartier Camp was constructed on the sandy plains, northwest of Quebec City. During the war, Valcartier Camp was the primary training base for the First Canadian Contingent before it departed for overseas service. An astounding glimpse back 100 plus years into military camp life. These cards reflect not only a pivotal time in Canada’s war history, but also reflect the beginning of a crucial time for many Canadians whose lives were to be forever changed by war. A historical group and a part of our Canadian history. Estimate =
