Spasm Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Got a bit carried away on elbow the other night and ended up with some photos which included some WW1 german blokes up a tree. I've no idea what unit or anything else about them for that matter so putting them on here for interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spasm Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Dear Paulus Thanks for your short letter of the 21st. This morning we arrived at the battery from camp. Worked hard all day long. Wonderful evening now. Hopefully Frida will soon be better again.. And, as always, your officers' corps? Is greeted cordially Otto (I think that's pretty close, maybe the last line is a bit of micky taking?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
