Here is my latest ship in the collection of Torpedoed ship S/S C.F Tietgen of the Scandinavian-America line , she was launched as Rotterdam 1897 for the Holland-America Line but bought by S-A line in 1906 and started on the route Norway - New York A funny thing about her that she was in the first Titanic movie in 1913 !! Ha! eat dust - Cameron! But she survived Titanic with 6 years and on the 18th of June 1918 she met her destiny in U-151 wich torpedoed her NE of Bermuda. 6 life boats with crew survived after ten days at sea, the 7th lifeboat with 22 man were lost at sea. Christer

Hi I found this wonderful pic on a Swedish auction !! On the backside its written " Weinachten 1915 Konstantinopel" If I read this photo right he is a Leutnant z?r see , with a new ? EK II and "gallipoli star" How many officers was there on Goeben and Breslau ? Funny how theese photos can end up in all corners of the world Christer

Aha ! In 1917 he was at M.G Schule Rumigny and was trained to use a " Inf ZeilfernrohrGewehre" yep a sniper rifle !! A sniper from 1917 Does anyone have a pic of the rifles they used ? It so much fun to go through theese old documents , you never now what to find ... He also got Both EK II and EK I Greetings from rainy Sweden Christer

Hmm this is the third page of the doc where his combat experiences is listed He was really in the heat ! He Fought at Ypres 1915 , Somme 1916 , Chemin des Dames 1917, Verdun 1917 and so on until the fight for the siegfriedline in 1918. Puh , he survived But under the battle list is a even more interesting list, what he was trained in .... look at a close up Christer

Here is a new doc to my collection, I dont know if I am the only one collecting theese but I think they are great "Auszug aus der Kriegs-Rangliste" Theese small docs carry lots of interesting info about the man, in this case Lt d.L.I Karl Bachmann But what could be so interesting with a Lt born in Erfurt in 1881 ? He survived the war since this paper was written out in 1919... Hmm what did he do during the war ? Come on lets take a look Christer
