Chris Boonzaier Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Another over the top one, capture of Douaumont.... lots of very, very bloody fighting there later on, but the initial capture was a bit different...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Those of you who have done the Verdun tour know the great Pizza served just off to the right, 20m from the bridge... German long range artillery hits the town...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Bethincourt, known to our US friends from 1918... here seen in 1916...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Beating back a French night assault on the "dead man" hill...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Taking a French trench in the forest of Avocourt...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 All from the same series, a picture of the crownprince on the back so maybe for the 5th Armee although it does not specify...
Chris Liontas Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Impressive artwork Chris!! Thank you for sharing.

dond Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Very nice Chris. What year were they published?
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Hi, 1916. I think they must have been a 5th Armee production as a small pic of the Crown prince is in the top corner of each (on the back) best Chris

rusticalex Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Here are a few more from the Daily Mail Official War Post Cards collection - these 6 are from Series 1, and I have put the fronts and backs together, as you will see. Unfortunately we don't have all 8 from this series!
Kev in Deva Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 Hi rusticalex Many thanks for your recent additions to this thread Kevin in Deva. :cheers:
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I guess times were different back then.... but this one would not sell well today....
