There was no war going on in 1910, but Alsace-Lorraine belonged to Germany at the time. So perhaps a message from a German soldier during routine peacetime training?

[oh8eleven]

Way cool. Did the message mention Ovaltine?

[central_va]

What happened to the pigeon?

[Repeal The 17th]

No report that I can find anywhere as to what the message actually says.

Anyone here read German?

Ich bin 17 Jahre alt. Nicht hasslich.
Ich mag lange Spaziergange am Strand.

(I am 17 y/o. Not ugly.
I like long walks on the beach...)

[Karliner]

Cooped up all these years

[central_va]

It’s an order for a pastrami on rye and a bottle of St Pauli Girl

[Dr. Sivana]

No report that I can find anywhere as to what the message actually says.

The article states that it describes German military maneuvers. They don't go into details, so I guess the maneuvers are still classified.

[snarkytart]

Was it carrying a Biden mail in ballot?

[Fledermaus]

I can read it: OMG. LOL. CYL. 😘

[fidelis]

That’s what I thought it said.

[Texas resident]

It is a fortune teller. Future calling.

In German it says, “Epstein didn’t kill him self”.

“Platoon Potthof receives fire as they reach the western border of the parade ground, platoon Potthof takes up fire and retreats after a while,” the message reads in part. “In Fechtwald half a platoon was disabled. Platoon Potthof retreats with heavy losses.”
