Additional Details:
Humorous German postcard of reservists returning home to mother at the end of their service. Two soldiers escort their very drunk comrade home in a wheelbarrow. Text on the barrel strapped to the wheelbarrow reads 'Parole ist Heimat! Reserve hat Ruh' (password is home! Reserve has peace). Signpost reads: 'Zu Zahlen - Knochenmühle' (To Pay - Bone Mill) and 'Abladestelle für alte Knochen' (drop-off point for old bones). Text at bottom reads: 'Wenn die Schwalben heimwärts ziehn' 'Wird auch unser Glück erblühn' 'Nur noch, noch, dann hat Reserve Ruh!' 'Per Schub geht's dann der Heimat zu.' (When the swallows fly home, our luck will blossom too. Just a little longer, then the reserve will have peace! One push and then it's off to home.)
