Humorous postcard illustrating a military scene with soldiers in parade uniform, an officer holding a broom, and a dialogue in a cloud of smoke. The printed text explains the expression 'Burying the Hundredth Father' as a custom of mocking the departure of a hundredth day before the departure of the class. On the reverse, handwritten correspondence addressed to 'Chérie' and a mention of the registered trademark E.R., Paris, with a note on the postage with a 5-centime stamp.
