1916 (January 9), Kurume Prisoner of War Camp, incoming postcard
from Germany, patriotic World War I postcard from Eberspoint,
postmarked with clear despatch c.d.s., violet Tsuruga transit (7
Feb), and large violet camp censor's handstamp, some edge wear and
light toning, but an uncommon incoming card following the fall of
Tsingtao, particularly unusual given the military nature of the
message. The sender, the recipient's brother, serving with the
Second Infantry Regiment of the 4th Reserve Company, makes several
remarks regarding his activities on the Western Front, noting "I
have now arrived in France...we have already covered about 20
kilometers today and have now reached our quarters...on August 15,
we have already been engaged in heavy fighting, hopefully it will
soon come to an end."
