Hendrik Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I believe French because of French writing to the rear and a date 1940, any help with a translation please? Hello Kevin, the postcard, being printed in Versailles, must be French but the handwriting on its reverse is definitely not. Could be an Eastern European language ... Cheers, Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Kev, since you're in Deva, isn't the writing on the reverse in Romanian?Hallo Dave, thanks for the translation, I have trouble reading my own handwriting, and thats in English No! seriously, I was trying to figure out was the guy a Romanian in the French Army, (I know pre WW1 and post WW1 there were very strong ties with France,) if so which, side did he serve, i.e. Vichy or Free France, and I also was hoping that the style of uniform might i d his branch of service, in the picture he looks factory fresh, but no insignia, emblems etc..etc..Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
