With the help of émigré intellectuals and politicians such as the Czech Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and the Slovak Milan Rastislav Štefánik, they grew into a force of over 100,000 strong. The name Czechoslovak Legion preceded and anticipated the creation of Czechoslovakia. This Linen Era (1930-45) postcard is in good condition. UP No. 72.
