A small drawing from the last photo was included within the Air Mail stationar, which has been turned into "Prisoner of War mail" and sent from M.E.F. in Egypt.

I can speak 4 different languages... Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian and Montenegrin. Just joking... until 1991. all they have been one language Serbo-Croatian (or Croato-Serbian), but now they are 4 different languages... of course, any native speaker of one of those 4 can easy understand any of other 3.

Graphis... if you can read the German language, and you are interested in POW life in post-War German Zone (the British one), I have a handwritten diary written in 1946... in British zone... entirely in German... probably by POW soldier. I can scan some pages, if you want.

Graphis, don't take my last post too serious! I was just joking - thought "fleunt" was kind of a cute word!
