AFGANISTAN - Ariel view of a village in Afganistan's Parwan Province

This card was sent to me by the US Military officer based in Afghanistan, an postcrosser.  He used US stamps for this card with an Army postmarking.


"Parwan (Persian/Pashto: پروان), also spelled Parvān, is one of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan. It has a population of about 631,600,[1] which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. The province is divided into ten districts. The town of Charikar serves as the provincial capital.
Located north of Kabul Province and south of Baghlan Province, it was once, the name of an ancient town in the Hindu Kush mountains."
