Pre-WWI German Real Photo Postcard
[Military Theatre]Germany: No Publisher, 1911.
.
9cm x 14cm. Real photo postcard.
Depicting a group of young soldiers posing in a private apartment as though for a theatrical play. They wear long shirts but no trousers, a few carry weapons – rifles and a sword – and most have a hat. One wears a spiked helmet, another what looks like a tin helmet. Posted in Rustersiel to Herr Hegemann in Aachen and postmarked 1911, it identifies them as members of the third sea battalion. The letter is mostly everyday notes, references going to China after Christmas.
. Very Good Condition.
