Nothing military on the back, I'm afraid, just greetings from a group of friends to the first correspondent's sister - about the most interesting aspect is the sisters' surname:

Frl. Amanda Lembcke :o

Adr. Herrn R.Speck [c/o Herr R. Speck]

Strübbeln [sic]

Kr. Hemme (Holstein) [=Strübbel, Kreis/district of Hemme, Holstein - only about 25 miles from Rendsburg]

Einen schönen Gruß

aus der ??Jodfeier

Frieda.

Einen schönen Grußt [sic] sendet
