Find Ancestors

Found a old post card in my great aunts house think from ww1.My grandfather was i the great war and served in Germany at the end of ww1.

No writing on the back but printed on the front it says.....

Verandsraum in einem russischen Lazarett ; ein russ Generalarzt und franzosische Schwestern vorn Roten Kreuz

The Picture is of a red cross nurse ans it look like soldiers.

Any idea's

federation space in a Russian military hospital; a Russian general physician and french sisters forwards Red Cross

I think that should read "from" rather than "forwards"

I googled for that by the way

I think the verandsraum translates as veranda room,

In my broken German

It's about the various Red Cross help

it came out as "federation space" on google translation

yes, it should be

verandAraum

and

voM Red Cross

... to read

veranda room in a Russian military hospital; a Russian general physician and French Red Cross sisters

(sisters referring to nursing sisters)

here is an example from a US military hospital showing recovering soldiers on the screened veranda
