DavoT Posted 19 March , 2011 Share Posted 19 March , 2011 Would someone be able to translate the reverse of this postcard please. I'll post the picture of Willy in due course. Thanks in advance. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wainfleet Posted 19 March , 2011 Share Posted 19 March , 2011 To his dear friend Max in lasting memory, in storm and danger, of your true friend Willy Hamburg, 15 June 1918. ("Sturm" can also mean "assault"). A slightly odd way to phrase it if Willy had sent the card. Did someone else send it after Willy died? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apwright Posted 19 March , 2011 Share Posted 19 March , 2011 Not Hamburg, but H'limburg - probably meaning Hohenlimburg, now a borough of Hagen. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavoT Posted 20 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 20 March , 2011 Here's the picture of 'Willy'. That makes for an interesting translation. Maybe he did die but he is a strapping chap in what looks like a fairly newish uniform. Cheers, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
