A romantic , rollicking image of military service is presented in this old Swiss postcard , bought in Singapore, the printed text and handwritten message on the back in German . Translated , this is the glowing description of military life :
That's how we live ,
that's how we live,
that's how we live,
That is how we live everyday,
at lunch with beer ,
at night with girls -
in the nightquarters !!
It was posted by Otto from military field post office Number 65 , to a dear friend , Fritz Kauffman , a porter in a n hotel in Lungern, Switzerland . Otto says he enjoys being in the military , with cheerful company , enough beer . He hopes that Fritz has posted his luggage ." Manoeuvres " stretch as far as Switzerland.
Possibly made pre WWll, the postcard bears the printed name in small type of Jos. Schoenberger and what could be an address in the Canton of Saint Gallen , Switzerland ; there is also No. 1003/3 .
