Its addressed to a George Traude and below that is his address which is in Nordsteimke, Germany. On the left is the note by the sender which begins with his details: Kann (Kannonier - Artilleryman) Traube 1st Imperial Prussian Ersatz battalion, 3rd Recruitment depot, Foot Artillery Regiment 13

Dear George,

Hope to hear from you soon. Whats your work like? Service (life) is pretty tough.

All the best

Your brother

Slight ammendment if I may - 'Royal' not 'Imperial'. But excellent reading on your part of what I still find a damn difficult script!
