thanks to Bernhard excellent job, here is the fuill translation : [ Dear Emile. I have received your letter and card. I am still in good health. I am also addressing a photo post card to aunt Lisa. friendly greetings to all, your father. In the margin: I have received a letter from Mother. They are doing well.

I have already seen medals similar to the ones posted by Gaffken for sale at low price in Izmailovo market. In my opinion, unissued medals with restruked numbers. I have seen some (real ?) in Museums, and maybe have pics of the reverse... I'll check. Cheers. Ch.
