The card was written...

The card was written on Sep. 30th 1918 in Munich to the Unteroffizier E. Silbernagel who served with a meteorological unit 401 (Frontwetterwarte 401) in Ciney near Namur. They were instrumental in planning gas attacks. He calls the addressee comrade and gymnast-pal. He regrets not having met with him during the addressees last holiday home in Bavaria and urges him to come by next time as there would be room and board provided by him for his comrade. He also mentioned a promotion of a mutual acquaintance Pätzold to Unteroffizier. The cross on the oilcloth hat identifies him as Lansturm but the 3 'pips' on the collar are unusual.
