Well there you go Colonel, case solved! Unless his horse actually wrote that card for him, Cuirassier André had one bad handwriting and quite a weak style...
And Bruno, you're most probably right about what you said about Monsieur le Curé du village... The same happens to me when I occasionally drive to the family village up in northern Lebanon for some R&R and my cousin who happens to be the parish priest starts sending me invites (Facebook and all!) to attend mass...
Our friend André probably wanted to enjoy his 48hr. leave without having to attend mass or other village duties/chores; maybe visit some old girlfriend as well and try the "I might fall from my horse and die soon without having kissed a girl" pick-up line ala Pearl Harbor movie with B. Afflek... (and just in case your minds started drifting to 'unholy' territories, bear in mind French women didn't shave their armpits back then :-& )
