Description
A group of three unidentified men are looking at postcards from "one of the eight post card containers, KC [Knights of Columbus] Hut, Paris, 1927." This took place during the American Legion gathering held in Paris at this time. The Catholic Church affiliated Knights of Columbus established a "hut program" during World War I to assist soldiers with their motto being "everybody welcome, everything free." This photograph is a part of others associated with the Knights of Columbus activities taking place in Paris at this time. The date is believed to be fall, 1927.
