A fieldpost card sent from the Soldatenheim in Novo-Svenziany/Nowoswenzjany, now Švenčionėliai in Lithuania in 1916. It was sent by the Soldatenheim in Nowoswenzjany where you can see the seal on the back, from the fieldpost station 270 which was stationed in Švenčionėliai at the time. Soldatenheim was an officer club when soldiers could have a leisure time when they were off duty.
This is also a postcard of Švenčionėliai taken in at railway station. Unfortunately, the fieldpost station used is unknown.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog afew weeks ago. It's very interesting. One ancestor of me went 1916 to Novo-Svenciany with his family. In December 1918 he came back. Before the war he had astation restaurant, so maybe in Novo-Svenciany he became the commander of the "Soldatenheim" or the railway-station.
Could you sent me better scans of the fieldpost cards (front and back)?
sorry for my bad english.
