11" x 3 1/2" panoramic photograph picturing Knox Ball Park in Demopolis, AL.  The photo pictures game play, the field surrounded by vehicles and spectators.  Postmarked August 3, 1941, the writer describes a truck convoy of 700 trucks that his party will join in Vicksburg, MS, to go "the rest of the way." There is a research project here, as convoys of trucks delivered military supplies to troops all over Europe to help fight the Nazis, and this postcard could refer to a convoy of supplies being delivered to a port, or something of that nature.  POOR condition with heavy wear throughout, but quite interesting nonetheless.
