Too exposed for the Western Front. But shows the use of these which was it seems quite common.

What does it say at the bottom? I am reading Stellung: Panikowica. This would place it into Hungary, I think, in the old Austro-Hungarian borders, probably northern part of the Empire, since it has a Polish sound to it.
