FW Photo

[Chris Boonzaier]

I am not sure if this is a training pic, but on the back it says it is an attack in the Argonne

Hello Chris , Perhaps its real action before the Wood was desvastated entirely. the man with a flamethrower indicates that the photo was taken after February 1915, probably from May to August . The Argonnerwaldlied was a song of the Pioneers, who were operators of flamethrowers

Hi, many parts of the wood were barely touched by the battle, even today you find paerts were everything was flattened, and 1KM further parts where the trenches are still 2 m deep and barely a shellhole. According to the notation on the back this must have been in the "Fille Morte " area, no date.

Hello , Regarding the Month ,I think in the period from May to August due to the full foliage of the visible trees
