The text is in czech, so the previous owner was a czech soldier?, there is written on spoon, evidently by his son:
"To Memory of Smeredevo in Serbia 9.11.1914,where our father Jindřich Holinsky was in battle and never went back."
I assume the Feldpostkarte was send to his widdow Mrs.Helena Holinska with information about his death or it was his previous card to his wife, there is unreadable location by Prague, and street name with 284 address. Strange is the german text card under, as deklared as General? 1914-1918, maybe a source book? and declared a date of birth of bad version of first name Heinz should be Heinrich Holinsky.
