Text in English: Front: {Please keep all these photographic cards - they are a memento for later. Don't you think that Julek presents himself as proudly as a battle leader. Otherwise, everything is still the same.} Back: {Military service postcard. Mrs. Master Painter Klemp, Podg�rz near Toru?, Market street 11 - Russia August, 9 1915 - Dear Martha! Today on the 9th I received the package with the eggs, but I could not eat them because they were all rotten. Please don't send any more eggs. But I still have a wish, could you buy me a "watercolor box" but not with tubes but with four-cornered cubes, at most for 5 marks, or ask somebody to buy it in Thorn if you don't have time. You can get it at Bookseller Schulz, Elisabeth street. So, now you know. Best regards, yours Gustav [stamp:] letter stamp | Landwehr Infantry Regiment No. 5, III. battalion}
