Farkas Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hello Gents, Everyone likes pictures yeah? I do. I like all sorts. Rppc, CDV, postcards. But particularly those used as Feldepost with all the details the backs carry : names , dates, units , addresses and if I could actually read German, a lot more 🤨 I’ve posted a lot of these front & back in detail a few years back, so for now, this is just about the fronts. I’ve got this shoe box just for AustroHungarian cards… I’m gonna work through the box and post a few at a time here, just for us to enjoy 🙃 Cheers tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Echt von Eleda Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Hi Farkas, thanks for sharing these wonderful postcards! I love pictures, photographs and postcards too, but I prefer those from South Tyrol, in particular photographs from war scenarios in the high mountains of my region. Best Regards Leo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards. Amazing to see how it has lasted… Nice one Felix. I know people do visit these sites but what about you? Are they situated so that you are able to visit them or are they too far away & up in the clouds? I’m 53 soon, I don’t think I could make it anymore even if I tried 😊 tony 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look for some photos about my last trip in September 2022! leo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i think it may be more interesting if I mix it up a bit instead from now on 😊 👉 If you have any requests for the next ones or if you want to see the reverse of anything I post… please ask 👍 Cheers tony 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
