WORLD WAR TWO RED CROSS
PLAYING CARDS:
These decks of standard playing cards were given to the
soldiers in the forward areas, hospitals, and rest
centers as a form of recreation, and provided in at
least two formats: the regular 52 card decks and in the
special pinochle 48 card decks as well – a popular card
game in the first half of the 20th Century.
This set of pinochle
playing cards is complete with the correct cards and
suits with all 48 cards present. The outer box shows
some wear where it appears to have been taped – possibly
to another deck in the process of packaging – however
the deck of cards is in like new condition and does not
appear to have been used.
This is an unusual piece to
add to your World War Two GI display.
