    I think the place you are searching for is Gut Horndorf where there was a milltary presence in 1915 but Iv not been able to find out about the card

    The back of the card mentions Lager Holzminden [Holzminden Camp]which was a German POW camp during WWI. I can't read all of the words at the top but it does say "prisonier ???? francais". Can you read the top words above that?
    It's unclear whether one or more of the men pictured were POWs at Holzminden or not.

    OK, thanks for enhanced scan!
    My guess would be that Charles Nor??? is the Noreux name listed on the sign on the front, that he is pictured there and that he was a POW at the camp. Notice the card is addressed to a Noreux, too.
    There was a famous escape from that camp but it was British soldiers who escaped, not Frenchmen.
    Still not clear to me what the Horndorf connection is to the message other than a place where Charles Noreux was during the war (I don't think the French army was inside Germany that far during WWI however.)
    Interesting item for sure!
