The handwritten note beside the printed Gruss aus Neusatz heading reads Nem cserelek tobbe, I will no longer exchange, signed by Jozsef Klein, marking this as correspondence between postcard collectors rather than a message to family. The photograph, captioned K. u. K. Infanterie-Kaserne No. 6, the Imperial and Royal 6th Infantry Barracks, shows a crowd of soldiers, women in folk dress and children gathered at the barracks gate, with a small church visible beyond.
About this place
The infantry barracks of Novi Sad, built in 1895 on the extension of the Lebarski sokak, later Miletićeva ulica. The street was renamed for it, Ulica kasarne and Laktanya utca on Hungarian cards, and it carries the name Ulica vojvode Bojovića today. The Habsburg-era card names the building K. K. Infanterie-Kaserne; under the Kingdom of Yugoslavia it took the name of King Peter I, and it is now the Vojvoda Bojović barracks. It is a separate complex from the Honved barracks of 1894 and 1895 in Futoška street, which carried the names Archduke Joseph and then King Alexander I and is today the Arčibald Rajs barracks. Both of the archive's views show the long three-storey ranges rising over the low roofs of the town.
