More German handwriting
This is proabably a lost cause, but having seen Sally's thread I thought I'd ask if anyone can help with this WW1 postcard which was in my great uncle's collection.
The front has a photo of the village of Engleskirchen, it's addressed to Musketier Dopper and begins "Leibe Willi" but I can't read the rest and only did German for 3 months at school donkeys years ago. Thankyou for looking

Sorry, I can only make out Lieber Willi (dear Willie) and Auf Weidersehen at the end!

Jill, this is also very difficult to decipher. I've downloaded the image and will take a better look later, if you can be patient.
I bet if I posted letters in my grandmother's handwriting noone could decipher them, and they are in English! My Mum always had to read them for me because as a child I couldn't read her writing at all.

Isn't it strange how the address was always written beautifully, but the rest not!! Perhaps having to fit a lot onto a small area had something to do with it
