    Hi Gents.

    these are mine. I'll photograph them as a group first. I do love 'em and I hope you do too. I will scan them singly if you are interested and let me know....

    Farkas : My pleasure , the new photo posted is interesting ,Austria troops in the western front says over the pic . Nancy Toul Verdun France .Well , in the year 1914 the only Austrian soldiers serving in France were artillerymen . with the heavy Skoda mortars .used against the belgian fortresses . The uniforms of the men appears to be pike grey . one of the men holds a carbine . a weapon for artillerymen

    Morning Bayern

    heres the reverse of this one...

    sent from Greifenberg, I don't think this is Feldposte - based on it having paid postage - but maybe there is something you can see in the text?

    And while I'm here, here is another one I've just received.A variety of uniforms with what looks (to me!) like signals/comms equipment....

    written 11-1-15

    Sent with postage paid from Innsbruck(?) I think....

The remitent is a nephew of herrFranke and writes the postcard in Greiffenberg . the date is April of 1915 . the remitent one Walter R is very suscint .perhaps some with better knowledge of the old handwriting could obtain another data .
