Postcard ex-Cape Town 1903 used aboard Austro-Hungarian light cruiser S.M.S Zenta which served in the Boxer Rebellion, China. On her return to Trieste, then Austria-Hungary, she was placed on reserve duty until 1902 when she was sent to Montevideo and Buenos Aires returning via Cape Town to Trieste. She was sunk at the start of WW1 by a British / French fleet off the Montenegran coast in August 1914. The card is addressed to Bohemia in Czechoslovakia. Most of the crew were Czechs while the officers were Austrian or Hungarian. This postmark is uncommon.
