Hello Gentlemen,
I wanted to share a couple of handmade German postcards with original drawings made by soldiers in the front. One infantry & the other artillery. Both dated 1915.
Lots of details including a biplane flying over the trench... Would love to get these translated!

Nice cards! This picture was drawn with ink and pencil by Max Weise (Gren. Reg. 100) on the back of his Feldpostkarte, also dated 1915.

The writing on the lower part of the first card says "Sincere greetings from the front from your coachman".

The second: "Greetings from Minden sends to you, dear H., your friend Hans. How is the I.. doing? Please write to me. I am now in the (..?) battery. Hopefully I will get some vacation some time. Good by, your friend Hans.

Great card from your end Robert and thanks for the translation. If you can decipher the other notes as well please let me know.
 
Some of the writing is too faint and small, but were the biplane it flying he wrote "Dear greetings to your parents and brothers/sisters (this is onw word in German)", some other parts appear to be names.
