VIII Armeekorps 2 Batallion Postcards

[Guest josefclaus]

Can anyone help decipher some Feldpostkartes sent from Belgium and France in Sep. and Oct. of 1916.

The postmarks from France are as follows:

K.D.Feldpoststation

-6.10.16.9-10V

Nr. 24 a

Feld-Recruten-Depot

Briefstempel

VIII.Armeekorps - 2 Batallion

One card is a group shot of about 2 dozen uniformed men sitting in front of a handpainted sign "1916 Frankreich 1916"

Another card with no military postmarks from Elsenborn Belgium on 5 Jul 1916, shows 4 uniformed men standing behind a picture of an airplane as if they are flying it. Obviously meant to be a humorous picture.

Any chance that the locations in France might be identified with the scant information from the postmarks?
