Ian Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 HiI recently acquired a photo card of an Oberst and he had written a message on the reverse.Other than it has something to do with k.k. Landsturm Regt no 11 I have no idea. There is a reference to Oberst Engelbert Zuzzi, but the photo of the Oberst is not Zuzzi.I would apprecaite it very much if some one could tell me what is written please.Regards,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard H.Holst Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hello Ian.Apparently addressed to Oberst Zuzzi.The inscription reads:Zur freundlichen Erinnerung an Deinen Vorgaenger beim Landsturm 11 or As cordial remembrance of you predecessor at Landsturm 11 then signed but I am unable to read signature.Bernhard H.

Can you make out the first letter of the signature, I might be able to trace him from that.Regards,IanHello Ian.I am sorry but I do not want to take a wild guess. It seems that the signature consists of two words. Whether he signed with first name then last name or whether his last name was one of two names who knows?Bernhard H.
