Shelter for sunstroke victims: the Merry Widow and her hat, on "hospital detail"
Postcard features a color drawing of a nurse taking care of a tiny soldier who suffers from sunstroke. They are under a huge yellow hat propped up with a rifle, serving as an umbrella. The soldier is sitting on the ground with an ice pack on his head held in place with a white scarf with red polka dots. He has a goofy smile on his face and is reaching for a drink labeled "highball" that is being offered to him by the nurse.
