Nicolas7507 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hello, Recently, I got a bunch of postcards with chinese motives around 1904/5. On the back of these cards is almost always a stamp: Ostas(iatische) Bes(atzungs) Brigade. The men (2-3), who send these cards were obviously in the German Schutztruppen in China I want to show you every card I have, front and back. A small description to every card will be done by me. There are maybe about 30 cards, so a translation of every card is maybe a bit ignorant, but a few examples would be very nice. At the end, a value of these cards would be great, because I do know nothing about Postcards in general. I know, talking about values is always a bit inappropiate, but I would really appreciate it. Nicolas By the way, how can I attach 2 pictures in one post? I do not want to post 1 card in 2 posts? The title of this card is "Englische Wache" (English Guards). Tientsin(Tianjin) is a harbor city near Peking(Bejing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike McLellan Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Very nice on several levels Not only historically significant, but a beautiful example of some of the finest cursive handwriting that I've ever seen! And the photo; did they make the tall gent stand by himself, off to one side, so as not to dwarf the others, edpecailly the CO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the CO? I thought he was the kid bugler. Not even a side arm...that I could see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
