Description:
Text in German: Front: Unser Dorfquartier. || Du schreibst ja garnicht mal ob er dort ist | seine Urlaubszeit hat er ja nun bald | hinter sich. Die �brigen Karten behalt | mal dort werde erst noch sehen was | mit diesen wird. Nun seid alle | recht herzlichst gegr��t von Deinem | Gustav Back: Feldpostkarte | Frau Malermstr Klemp | Podgorz b. Thorn. | Marktstr 11. || Ru�land, den 14. Mai 1915. | Liebe Marta! | Deine Pakete habe ich gestern erhalten
| sage Dir herzl. Dank Das Paket | mit den Zigarren ist aber | noch nicht hier hoffentlich | bleibt es nirgends stecken. | Diese Karte ist nichts besonderes | aber damit sie wegkommt schreib | ich sie. Die Karten sind nicht beson- | ders die Du mir schicktest. Ich wer- | de wohl die Platten zum Photo- | graphen schicken und Karten | machen lassen. Jeder will eine | haben und so viele gerate ich | garnicht. Ich warte jeden Tag | da� ich fahren kann aber es kommt | immer noch nicht. Sonst alles gut | Die Torte schmeckte gut nur ist | der Speck zu trocken und kann | ich ihn nur zum braten der Kar- | toffel brauchen. Wie ist es mit Julek.

Text in English: Front: {Our village quarter. You did not write whether he is there, soon his leave will be over. Keep the remaining cards, first I will see what to do with these. Now, best regards to all, from your Gustav} Back: {Military services postcard - Mrs. Master Painter Klemp Podg�rz near Toru?, Market street 11. Russia, May 14, 1915. Dear Marta! I received your packages yesterday and I thank you very much. The package with the cigars has not yet arrived, I hope it has not gotten stuck somewhere. These cards are nothing special, but in order to get mailed I am using it now. The cards you sent me are nothing special. I may send the plates to the photographer and order cards. Everyone wants one and so many I cannot produce. I wait every day that I can get leave but the permit has not arrived. Otherwise, everything is fine. The cake tasted good, only the bacon is too dry and can only be used it for frying potatoes. How about Julek.}

The seated man with the medic armband is likely Klemp.
