Frič,” offered Czechoslovak legionnaires American periodicals in Czech for free. The writer was assigned to the Reserve Battalion, 3rd Infantry Tatra Regiment. The unit cancel is a postal cancel. When the card arrived in New York, postal authorities added the postage due strikes. The rate for international post cards was 2 cents, so the postage due was double that rate.
