18.04.1915 K.u.K feldpost card from Feldkanonen regiment (FKR) 37. to Zagreb. Mailed via Fp.44 used by 36 Inf.Division stationed on Russian front in Galicia. 36 Inf.div was one of the Croatian divisions and was based in Zagreb. Sender notes his Fp. number 68 , used by Croatian 42. Domobranska (Landwehr) division, also fighting in Galicia.
Unusual and very rare is purple cancel GOTT STRAFE ENGLAND (God punish England) , this is only the second 'croatian' card with such cancel that i have seen. As Croatian units in Kuk army were fighting on Serbian, Russian and Italian front cancels about punishing England must be rare.
FkR-37 was part of 42 Inf.dvision, it was disbanded in 1916.
