3.1916 card mailed from Zagreb hospital Sisters of Charity( Bolnica Sestara Milosrdnica ) to Rijeka(Fiume). Marked as Feldpost and mailed from wounded soldier in hospital. All mail from wounded soldiers was free of charge when marked as Feldpost and canceled by Hospital stamp, here that is purple cancel in the middle of the card. Zagreb Censor cancel in red. Text is in Italian although recipients name is Croatian , and sender can write Croatian language(look at his writing of hospitals adrress.)
During the Great War many improvised hospitals were formed in Croatia, i dont know how many regular and reserve army hospitals were formed, but i know that just a Red Cross organised 35 improvised hospitals. Amount of Feldpost mail from these hospitals was big and a lot of it is preserved untill this day.
