    Lieber Hans

    Sende dir Herzliche Grüsse aus Flandern

    bin hier mit Landsturmleuten,

    mit welchen ich auf Patrouille

    bin in einem Dorf unweit Menin

    Ein Unteroffizier hat uns geknipst.

    Dein Onkel Hugo

    Dear Hans.

    I send you heartfelt Greetings from Flanders. I'm here with some Landsturm men, I went on patrol with in a village near Menen. An Unteroffizier took the picture.

    Your uncle Hugo

    Menen or Menin, a town in Flanders was located only a few kilometers behind the frontline. In 1917, the inhabitants had to evacuate the town, which was severely damaged during the fighting.

    Hello,

    Could you post a scan of the front?

    I would be very interested to see it as I live in that area.

    Regards,

    Thanks,

    Can you see the roman numbers on their collar to know to which Army Corps they belonged?
