      Hi Gents how bout this....? the society that received the card got it and then on each occasion he visited or was seen the date was noted. And rank updated along the way..... ------- ? Could 'gesehen' translate as 'seen' in that sense? in this case meaning 'he's been seen' ...?? tony EDIT which means he probably died early 1917. and maybe punch holes are period as he was filed away....?

      Morning Chris glad you like it.... i had a giant mate, years ago. (b4 mobiles!) When you were out (and got lost) in a club the agreed meeting point was always him. He was never alone. Can't remember his name but he was really really tall!! ---/--- Hi Gents I think that it is a design from 1905. Sadly the postage stamp is steamed off which has taken the post mark date with it. Also the back is in pencil- faded -and I can't distinguish the date. here's the back regardless tony
