Chris,

It looks like the captions to the photos are inked originals. Do you think each booklet was hand captioned at the time it was presented, or did this owner do it himself or was this just a one-off booklet, that is, only one produced?

Good question... It is the only one I have ever seen so I cannot compare

Hello there ! I just bought an album with 50 photos from another IGB attached to the Sturmbataillon 7 (IGB23) I recognise some very similar views (the railway station, the platz in Bosmont, ubungsplatz, Pargny...), I will share it when I will be able to remove the photos (text are oon the back) and to scan them. Best regards, Julien
