This topic directs us to the caption At Theatre of War on the franking of stamps of postcards sent from places of hostilities. Similar to it is the caption From the Serving Army. Noteworthy is the very formulation associating warfare with a show, as well as with the theatres of the absurd and of cruelty, and the sophisticated grimacing of actors. A comparison of war with theatre, theatrical war in a sense, prepares future spectators for war as a reality show and the news lines of media channels.
