Thanks to Patrick Taffe we got translation of the postcard sent by "Leutnant J.Doleschal" of KuK IR 63 to Vienna on December 14, 1914:

13. Dezember 1914
Zu mir hat noch nicht ein Kärtchen den Weg gefunden. Heute regnet es. In den letzten Tagen hatten wir Angriffe der R., die wir fest aushalten. Herzliche Sonntagsgrüße von deinem (?)
Grüße an deine Eltern!

13 December, 1914

Greetings to your parents!
