Chris Boonzaier Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I wonder if they were used as a kind of "tunnel rat" in the trenches..... After some time in some underground tunnels in Verdun/Argonne, I see the need for Vertically challenged soldiers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas W Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I wonder if they were used as a kind of "tunnel rat" in the trenches..... After some time in some underground tunnels in Verdun/Argonne, I see the need for Vertically challenged soldiers.... The top photo is of drivers of Trench Mortar Company 228, so that poor little fella would've had to have been given a pony. The unit in the bottom photo is unidentifieable, but the brassards say "_ _ _ _ _ _ Bat." and those guys are Saxon. The tunnel rat is Prussian, so maybe the Saxons thought it would be a yuck to have Hansi from an adjoining unit pose with them on a big old dud shell. They all look pretty grim, though, don't they?
