M.T. Dordrecht Main entrance M.T. school - May 20, 1940
The above card was written on May 20, 1940, just a few days after the Dutch surrender. It is an interesting card. Like most military field postcards, the card is not stamped but instead has “Militair” written in the top right corner. postcard was sent from Dordrecht on May 21. The text reads: “I am doing well and hope you are too. I hope to see you all again soon. Greetings to everyone. I am staying at Dordrecht, Stationsweg 4. Take care for now.” The card was likely sent by a soldier who was (slightly) wounded in Dordrecht or the surrounding area. The MTS depicted in the photo was a military hospital during the May days, serving both sides. You can find interesting photos of the MTS as an emergency hospital on the website of Dordt Open stad. *1
