4.1915 KuK feldpost from Prague to Čakovec

 05.04.1915 K.U.K feldpost card mailed from Bubna Railway station in Prague  to Csaktoryna (Čakovec) in Međimurje, Croatia. Posted via civilian mail free of charge as feldpost. Sender and recipient have same German surname but cards text is written in Hungarian. As Međimurje and Čakovec were at the time in Hungarian kingdom it's Croatian population served in Hungarian regiments  I found  feldpost written to Međimurje to be very rare.
