The photographs, depicting Fort Ringgold, Texas from the air and ground, were used by a member of the Detached Enlisted Men's List stationed at Fort Ringgold during World War II. One postcard was sent by "Bud" to his father S. C. Cowgill of Wabash, Indiana, and is dated Mar 2 1942. Four other postcards have notes by Cowgill on their versos explaining various landmarks depicted, with notes indicating that the photographs were out of date by the time Cowgill was using them. The original photographs are of Fort Ringgold ca. 1920, and were used to make postcards later. Three postcards are of the same image, Bird's Eye View of Fort Ringgold
