      Hi gaz.
      at first I want to write down the German text - than the translation:

      d., 2. Sept. (19)15

      Mein lieber Herr Wenzel,
      Vielen Dank für gesandte Kartegrüße. Hoffentlich geht es Herrn Weinhold schon wieder besser. Grüssen Sie ihn bitte bei Gelegenheit von mir.
      Wir haben jetzt ganz misserables Wetter. Jeden Tag Regen und dabei Hundekalt. Der Winter kann ja gut werden, denn sicher müssen wir ihn hier draußen verbringen. Es ist zum Verrückt werden.Kein Ende abzusehen. Bleiben Sie und Ihre Familie gesund und seien Sie herzlich gegrüßt von Ihrem
      M. Holtmann.

      Translation:

      2 SEP (19)15

      My dear Mr. Wenzel,

      thank you very much for the post card greetings. Hope that Mr. Weinhold is now better again. Give him my best regards on the next occasion.
      Now we have really bad weather. Every day rain and very cold (dog's cold). The winter could be good. I's enough to drive you mad. No end to be seen.
      You and your family may be in good health and best regards from yours M. Holtmann

                      Very nice group. Textbook style KAG with that "been there-done that"
                      look about it.

                          That is the NCO's service instructions. Unteroffizier(NCO) Dienst (Service) instructions (unterricht).

                          Nice nice set. Way to go. Here is my KAG back to compare.

                          For your amusement, here is a thread I started when I got the new Fuji, and it was on the KAG.

                            NICE group! I love the old ribbons.
                            I really like that NCOs service book.
