    I used Google search by image and asked for it to describe this postcard in detail. Here's what it told me: Hope it helps

    The postcard is a sepia-toned photograph of a war memorial in Russia. The memorial is a large, stone structure with a cross on top, situated in a grassy area with a few trees in the background. A soldier in uniform stands in front of the memorial, leaning on a short fence that encircles it. The soldier is wearing a cap and a long coat, and he is holding a cane or stick. The text on the postcard reads "Rußland - Kriegsgedenkstein," which translates to "Russia - War Memorial Stone."

    searching and translating the back side I found this:
    The back of the postcard features:
    A divided back: The left side is for the message, while the right side is for the address.
    A handwritten message: The message is written in German and seems to be a personal note.
    A printed stamp: The stamp in the top right corner reads "K.D.Feldpoststation 26.10.16.3-4N" and "Nr. 171."
    Publisher information: The bottom left corner has "Stengel & Co., G.m.b.H., Dresden 54302."
    Approval mark: The text "Vom Königl. Sächs. Ministerium des Innern zur Veröffentlichung zugelassen" indicates approval from the Royal Saxon Ministry of the Interior for publication.

    the translation of the message is:

    Dear John,
    I'm soldier Hoch Lehmann. 2nd floor. 5th room, all 22. 3. After Körzs

    No problem, let me know if you need help with others. I have several resources I can use to find out about a postcard. I can't guarantee it will be 100% accurate but I try to get the best information I can. Have great night!
