Marcin L Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks, Glenn. By the way - how do you know? I guess it is not a postcard but a studio portrait. Correct me if I am wrong, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Marcin, confirmed from a copy of the same photograph in the history of FAR 201 (and his signature plus the HOH3X and China Denkmünze!) See also this small Wikipedia article: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Fletcher Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin L Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Alright. But do I understand it correctly - my picture is just a copy? And the signature on the picture is also a copy/facsimile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Marcin, I do not know if your photograph is an original. What I am saying, is that the same image was reproduced in the regimental history of FAR 201. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin L Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 OK. It is possible that this is just a "copy", meaning there are other available. There is a verlag description on the back. Thank you anyway, highly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
