20.10.1918 - K.u.K IR.78 to Zagreb


20.10.1918 card from the 78.Infanterie regiment Gerba mailed via Fp.634 used by 36.Inf.division.Very late mailing date at the end of the Great War.

Regiment was Croatian unit in common K.u.K army. Recruting area was Slavonia. During entire war it was part of 36.Inf.Division, from 2.1918 it  fought on the Italian battlefield.

Rare charity feldpostkarte from regiment was mailed to Zagreb, text in Croatian is very interesting: " it is hard to die now after we stayed alive up to now in all this suffering. Here a spanish sickness(flue) is everywhere, oddly im still untouched by it".
