Staying on this fascinating field,  Scan shows a POW Red Cross Card printed in Budapest.

Triangular Censor of WIEN,  addressed to Zurich. Card is from a POW held in a (hell hole) called Camp  BOLDOGASSZONY in Hungary.

Dated cachet from there, 1917 OkT 15,  this ties in with the date of reverse of 12 X 17. 

The Boxed cachet No 96 is a Serbian Censor Mark,  recorded used at FPO 999 serving GHQ.

Three questions on this one.

1 The Large M in Blue, Top Corner

2 Top line above Date

3 The Crylic script four line cachet,  cannot find anything out about this one.

If I work out correctly it went to Zurich and was then forwarded to Serbian Controlled territory where FPO 999 was located, hopefully then onto the family.  There are No Postal Markings.
