Since you started this WWI thread, I had found some postcards in an antique store the other day dated 1914 that I thought were neat looking and found them online. The pictures below are in color, but the postcards I have are in black and white...well, that reddishy black and white (sienna, sierra, something). I have two more that are not pictured below but I don't have a scanner and I could not find pictures of the others online...
The most I can figure out about them is that each has part of a German Military song on it (I was able to find them on a German website, translate the website and then translate the song.)

This is a link to the German version:

And here is the english translation page:

Anyone know anything about them? There were some more there that I am thinking about going back and getting cause they are really neat to me, but it is about an hour drive.
