paulgranger Posted 25 January , 2013 Share Posted 25 January , 2013 http://www.abbottandholder-thelist.co.uk/ This link brings up details of a showing of paintings commissioned by von Wundt, CO of the 51st Reserve Infantry Regiment on the Somme 1914-1916, and after whom the Wundt-Werk, or 'Wonderwork' was named. It all looks very interesting, and I shall try to get along to see the paintings when I'm in London next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastSurrey Posted 25 January , 2013 Share Posted 25 January , 2013 I attended yesterday,with my son Andrew,who is much more knowledgeable about the Kaiser's Army than I am.We both found it fascinating.Some of the pictures are relatively straight landscapes,although including a particularly memorable picture of the ruins of Thiepval Chateau.However,most are quite extraordinary caricatures,including of Midsummer celebrations and of the interrogation of the brigade's first British (Irish)prisoner.They show a wonderfully quirky side of the German general who commissioned them.Highly recommended.

egbert Posted 26 January , 2013 Share Posted 26 January , 2013 Absolut phantastic pictures. Also the real photographs from GL Wundt are stunning. The Courcelette pictures would be of interest for Paul Reed I am sure. Thanks for digging up this link. If somebody visits the museum -is it possible to take some larger scale jpg. images and post them here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
