This is not a postcard image, but private photo. In the photo you see a man who was an owner of two photo albums that I had in my collection (my primary hobby is photo albums collecting). He started his career as enlisted man in WH artillery, later transferred to mountain artillery unit and promoted to officer rank right after campaign in Greece.

Most likely staged photo taken by a Kriegsberichter (war correspondent), I've seen a few of such photos. There appears to be a chambered round which may indicate that even if it's staged it was taken at the front.
