This series of (25) Army cards pictures soldiers from 9 different countries in their battle gear. The cards were inserted one each into the Army caramel brand from Breisch-Williams. The images used in this series were used for other manufacturers of the time including the American Tobacco Company among others. All cards picture the subject in a full color bust pose. Thirteen of the (25) cards also have a picture of a cap in the lower left corner. They appear on all the same cards and it is not known why they don't appear on all the cards.
