This postcard studio portrait photo of Harry S. Truman wearing his uniform and helmet was taken in France during World War I. Noted on the reverse of the postcard: "Given to John A. Hatfield in France in 1918 - returned to Harry S. Truman in January, 1962." Truman enlisted for service with the National Guard in 1905. During World War I, Truman served as a captain in the Field Artillery, wearing the standard olive drab, M1910 service uniform: breeches that flared out at the thigh, a single-breasted coat with four front pockets, tall lace-up boots, and a helmet. As vice president, Truman became president when President Franklin D. Roosevelt died during his fourth term in office in 1945. He was elected president in his own right during the 1948 election, serving from January 20, 1949 to January 20, 1953. During his second term, Truman was the target of an assassination attempt while living in Blair House during a major White House renovation. He served in the Senate prior to his years in the White House.
