The Prussian Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Great collection Tony! I like those coloured photos!!!
Farkas Posted August 26, 2017 Author Posted August 26, 2017 Thanks The Prussian You've got some beauties there... those older ones when the uniforms were more colourful look great.... tony ps 1 more...
The Prussian Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Thanks Tony! A friend of mine coloured my grandfather (sitting in 1st photo, served with Feldart.Rgt.43) and my great-uncle (2nd photo, Lt.d.Res. with IR155) Edited August 26, 2017 by The Prussian
Farkas Posted August 26, 2017 Author Posted August 26, 2017 Brilliant. Brings the pics to a different level. tony (i noticed a few cannon in your pics - i know why now....)
The Prussian Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Oh yes! Unfortunately this photo and his Militärpaß survived the history...
Farkas Posted August 26, 2017 Author Posted August 26, 2017 Fortunately perhaps?? i wish I had more.... My Grandfather carried a camera during his service. Apparently wads of graphic photos survived war and travel until 1968. My Dad used to tell me of his horror at finding they were all destroyed upon his Dads death. My Nan had always hated them! But... 2 years ago I found his ID card, pin badge for the 83rd and some Rppc that survived. Treasure!! once I've contributed a bit more I'll be shouting about him from the rooftops..... 4.44am so Best wishes Sir. tony
The Prussian Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Yes, it´s nice to find some stuff from the forefathers! I asked the entire family, but we were bombed-out in WW2, so only these two photos and the MP were left. I´ve found another coloured photo, but it´s not from my family...
Farkas Posted August 26, 2017 Author Posted August 26, 2017 That reminded me of these... painted onto the CDV itself. You can see the cracks in the paint up close..... lovely..., tony
The Prussian Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Oh yes! Handmade painting! Very nice photos!
