WWI Camp Dix New Jersey Postcard Set 8 Rare Censored Variant Military Training For Sale

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW:
This offering features a complete, unposted 8-card postcard lot originating from Camp Dix (now Fort Dix) near Wrightstown, New Jersey, circa 1917–1918. This grouping serves as a uniform production run tracking the daily mobilization, training, and landscape of the facility. Many cards in this set showcases a distinct, uppercase \"CENSORED\" stamp cleanly integrated onto the front design plate.During the frantic buildup of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) for deployment to Europe, the Military Intelligence Bureau (M.I.B.) briefly enforced strict security sweeps at prominent East Coast embarkation hubs. Commercial postcard batches intended for soldiers were vetted and officially stamped before they could be legally sold on base. Finding a complete, uniformly unposted set bearing these exact front security markings is an excellent find for specialized military postal history collectors.LOT CONTENTS & INCLUDED VIEWS:
