Juni 1916 Liebling! hebe bitte diese Karte sehr sehr gut auf! Es ist eine teuere Erinnerung da wir 109er diesen Teil gestürmt haben! Herzliche Grüße Franz Darling! please keep this card very, very safe! It is a valuable recollection because we 109er forced this part! Kind Regards Franz ... this part! = a special location on the card on the other side? Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Chris Chris, all I can make out is: Mutter verst. 25.10.18 (most likely in this case abbreviation for verständigt but it is also the abbr. for verstorben). The rest are more abbreviations, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
