Chris Liontas Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) I got this album years ago. After seeing Chris' photos from the Boer War, I went through some of my old albums. This photo album starts in 1918. It contains some neat photos, not usually associated with the Chaplain service.

Chris Liontas Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Shot of the chaplain and some nice field service photos. The man in the black vestments could possibly be a Franciscan as he is never shown in a uniform. He obviously has rank on the other chaplains in the photos Edited January 17, 2010 by Chris Liontas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Liontas Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) How often have you seen your priest in a gas mask? The first photo is comprised of all Bavarian Chaplains. Fairly interesting to see the difference between the crosses on the visors. Edited January 17, 2010 by Chris Liontas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Liontas Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Hi Rick!! Happy New Year!! I had an Epson actually....and I stepped on it (long story) I am going to post the remaining photos this week. The portrait shot IS named to a fellow who ended up being listed in Chris B's book on the Bavarian Chaplains in WWI. I had a loose photo of him, the exact one in the album, but I sold it and never wrote down the name I will look at the one in the book, fairly sure his name is there. The problem is, I cant identify him in the rest of the album, unless he is the guy with the beard. Let me check again and post the rest of the photos. The photos of the trench works are impressive Edited January 18, 2010 by Chris Liontas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
