Tom Y Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Here's another letter I unearthed from my pile of odds and sods. From, I think, the Eastern Front, probably around Riga, it goes to 16 pages. I've tried to translate it without a net, but other than learning tha it's to his parents and sister from the trenches where he's been for 6 days I haven't made a whole lot of headway Rather tha wait a decade or so I decided I'd post it now and take advantage of those more gifted. I guess I should set the scene by starting with the envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Page 1. Tuesday, 5 October, 1915. Evening in the trench.I'll leave it at this for the nonce, as it looks like he's preparing for battle. Dontcha love cliffhangers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 That's too light for me to read. Scribbly pencil.Apparently from Gefreiter Klemm, 1st Battery, Saxon Field Artillery Regiment 48, 23rd Infantry Division. Not even sure of the name. Can you darken this up any?
