Description from source	8.4 cm (Length), 13.5 cm (Width) Kotsos was in Asia Minor with the Greek Army as part of the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922. The Greco-Turkish War was a series of military events which occurred during the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire after World War I between May 1919 and October 1922. The war was fought between Greece and Turkish revolutionaries of the Turkish National Movement. The Greek campaign was launched because Greece had been promised territorial gains at the expense of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. The result of this war was that Greece gave up the territory it gained during the war, returning to its pre-war borders, and engaging in a population exchange with the newly established state of Turkey under provisions in the Treaty of Lausanne. Physical Description Black and white postcard featuring picture of woman playing instrument with white horse against painted outdoor landscape. The reverse of the postcard has extensive text written in Greek in blue ink.
