German to English, Please (3 of 3)
« on: Monday 29 June 15 13:51 BST (UK) »
Hello, my father-in-law recently discovered three family photos with what we assume to be German writing on the back.  We would be very grateful if someone could translate for us.  The third is attached.  Thank you in advance for your efforts!

Hi
Asked a friend from Bosnia about the language. He is pretty sure it is Cyrillic and not German.

Here is a link:

Hi Brilau

I stand corrected.
Cheers.
