Description:

This collectible Western Union Phone Card features a famous black-and-white World War II photograph of a sailor embracing a woman amid a crowd of joyful, celebrating people. The image captures a heartfelt moment of reunion, symbolizing the end of World War II. The soldier, wearing a traditional sailor's cap and uniform, is tightly hugging the woman as they share the relief and happiness of wartime separation ending.

Superimposed on the right side of the card is a yellow Western Union telegram addressed to M. Bartholomew. The telegram reads: "Kill the old red rooster, war over coming home. Love, John S.

Bartholomew, providing a personalized touch tied to wartime communication and family connections. The combination of the historical image and authentic telegram text creates a meaningful collectible reflecting victory, homecoming, and reunion after years of global conflict.
