    Recommended Posts

    Letter home to family from a Lt. Schulte? to the Ramsauer family with a map and pcs of there sons gravesite

    somewhere near Beaumont-hamel and Serre.

    very nice pack of stuff in this feldpost letter home.

    has 4 postcards,1 hand drawn map by the LT. schulte and a later map from a book or something.

    poor Gunther Ramsauer was killed 2-11-1917

    his family got this letter on 3-7-1917

    he was a member of res-inf-rgt #229

    in the postcard with the 3 men lined up for the pic. Gunther is the one on the left with the cross on his arm in pencil, he won the iron cross 2nd class.

    sad story that happened over and over during the war,

    but neat to still have all these in one packet.

    enjoy the photos, and scans, thxs joe
