Need help translating WWI Russian postcard (Austro-Hungarian)


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've had this postcard for a few years and I've always wondered what it says. I believe it is WWI based on the picture and age, and I am pretty sure it's Russian.  I do not have any friends who speak Russian or any similar dialect.  It'll be great if a member can help translate the postcard and unlock the mystery. I greatly appreciate any and all help!

Hey 24thInfantry, Not sure what language this is. Maybe Hungarian, but not Russian.

Thank you for that information! Hopefully it is Hungarian. I know a few people who might be able to read it.

This is undoubtedly Hungarian.

 

Sorry I don't speak Hungarian.

Thanks Allan!  Yet again you've come through and helped me out!  Is there nothing out there in the militaria field you are not knowledgeable in? Lol. Thank you for your help!  Now I just need to find someone who can translate it.

Thank you for that information!  I had no idea it was the archduke.  Getting one step closer each time. Thank you very much for that help!
