Chris Boonzaier Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 How the hell did you figure that out???
Naxos Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 But google says it dont exist! often the German spelling of Russian places is phonetic
Naxos Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 How the hell did you figure that out??? you should know me by now - I just made it up
speedytop Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Chris, I read the same name: Wykonowskoye Uwe
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Then I will go with that.... it is in retrospect a note written by "someone" on the back of a postcard and no reason to think that he got the spelling right. Probably picked up in conversation, and written as he thought best Thanks for the efforts guys.
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 I think this guy was a sort of artist, I get "XXXKunst Besitzer " ?
Naxos Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Kunstanst. = Kunstanstalt. agree with Dave Kunstanstalt-Besitzer

Yup, schneeschuh. Thanks Uwe, an added bonus with Perfall being a Bavarian!!
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 Hi, can anyone figure out what happened to him? Im Laz. Wegen XXXXX at Fort Douaumont... Thanks Chris
bolewts58 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) It's actually "ins Lazarettwagen..." not 'im' I think the first word on the 2nd line is "stauchung" meaning upsetting. Edited January 1, 2014 by bolewts58
