03.VII.1915 feldpost card mailed from Teplitz Schonau(today in Czech republic) to "Dukaressa" b. Karlstadt Kroatien, this is misspelled "Duga Resa", near Karlovac, Croatia. Adressed to an NCO of II.Ersatz komp. (2.training company), Landwehr Infanterie(infantry) Regiment 23.Zara. 23.Landwehr.inf.rgt. Zara recruited in northern Dalmatia, soldiers were mostly Croats. Text is in German.
Very interesting is the front side of the card, this in an obituary for Italy. On the Pentecost 23.V.1915 Italy betrayed its former allies and declared war on Austro-Hungary , this is all noted in the text (to translate text in the picture use google translate). Italy was promised large parts of Croatia (Istria,Dalmatia) to join war on Entente side.
