The rescue of the crew of the Italian battleship Amalfi, July 7, 1915, sunk by Austrian submarine U-26. The submarine was German submarine UB-14, but, because Italy and Germany were not at war, sailed under as an Austro-Hungarian vessel. From a painting by Harry Heusser, 1915. The message on the reverse was written March 22, 1916, and the card postmarked from Vienna the same day.
