The military mail postcard on the base of the real photograph made by J. Kratochvil in the Czech city Josefov as his item No. 141. Its medium is a phototypie with white border. 

The subject matter seems to be some prisoners of war who were soldiers from the famous Caucasian Native Cavalry Division so-called «Savage Division» which was formed on August 23, 1914, and was composed mostly of Muslim Volunteers from various peoples of the Caucasus. It took part in WWI commanded by Grand Duke Michael Alexandrowich younger brother of the emperor Nicholas II. The instant shows a row of prisoners with their traditional military dressing so-called chokha, also known as a cherkeska, is a Georgian woollen coat with a high neck that is part of the traditional male dress of peoples of the Caucasus. Their chokha has so-called gazyr pockets. A gazyr (from Turkish hazır, «ready», ultimately from Arabic) is an implement to hold a rifle charge: a tube with a bullet and a measure of gunpowder or a paper cartridge. They were carried in gazyr bags or in rows of small pockets on the breast. Later, gazyr pockets became a distinctive element of national dress of the peoples of Caucasus. The spiritual content reveals a new manner of the everyday for muslims prisoners of war. A human face in the window on the background of the row of prisoners seems to be a good symbol of the clash of the everyday of the Czech small provincial town with historicity of WWI.
