    I too like your photo Marcin, great detail and makes me wish I could get a look inside their bunker.

    All the photos being shared are wonderful.

    Thanks

    Is the guy on the left wearing a kilt??

    Don't know Chris thought it may be shorts as he looks bare legged, perhaps 'airing his tackle' during a lull? Looks like the skirt of his jacket on the left.

    Either he has a huge chunk out of his right knee and that's a huge scar... Or... It's a wrinkle in his very tight trousers.

    You guys seeing naked legs need to go hug your wives.

    I thought something tucked into his gaiters but perhaps your right, maybe he invented 'Lycra', LOL.

    Two photos of Austrian soldiers in trenches.

    The first was sent as a postcard and bears the postal stamp Krems a.d. Donau 15.XI.13.

    I think they are Landwehr-soldiers. They use the old Mauser-rifle 88.

    Although some regiments had to give up their G98s when they left the Western front and got G88s for their time on the eastern front!!

    Here is another one. Sorry for the red line, its my wonderful Epson...

    Marcin,

    Super photo! What devastation. It appears the two men with the packs are being escorted by the one with the rifle, as they seem not to have rifles of their own. One is carrying some telephone wire. They must be far enough behind the lines that the last man doesn't feel compelled to wear his helmet.

    Couple from the weekend.

    Last pair not trenches but the Kantine looks to be 'dug in' so fairly sharp?

    Last one, go any further and you will be shot!?

    Does anyone have photos of the Marinekorps Flandern troops in the trenches?

    Maybe not what you're looking for but I have this Franz Eichhorst artist-card from a series of at least 32. You can find most part of the series here. The mentioned Collection Grabenhorst refer to I think Karl G., brother of the author of  war-novel "Fahnenjunker Volkenborn", Georg Grabenhorst, who himself served 17/18 in the Marine Infantry as Fähnrich and described his time there.
