    Trenches: A picture worth a thousand words....


    Recommended Posts

    The photo of what appears to be Saxon Troops standing in water is very interesting. The NCO to the left looks to have special trousers unless they are completely soaked. 

    The NCO in he middle looks complacent

    In the commercial postcard, most of the rifles are second line Kommisiongewehr M1888 (probably the upgraded 1888/05).

    Hi,

    Soem regiments, early in the war, when transfering from the Western to Eastern Front had tzo leave their G98 behind and were kitted out with G88 for their fighting on the eastern front. This was true not just for Landwehr etc. but also for fuly active units.

    Very nice photo Chris...

    I'm sitting on the porch drinking a triple scotch on a beautiful 80° sunny day wondering why there isn't much activity on the forum. Summer is nearing and I suppose some people have better things than to participate. I'm reading Sherlock Holmes and maintaining watch over new post. 

    I've seen many nice photos on eBay lately but have lost every one of them...
