Malte Znaniecki Posted 14 September , 2013 Share Posted 14 September , 2013 Roy, this is an absuolute dreamland to me. Big challenge to the team. If transscriptions wanted, I will start working on the texts from tomorrow on and will give you the texts in modern German as well as in translations into English right here. Thank you so very much for sharing and for spending your time at making possible to see that great stuff. Malte PS: My old friend Egbert also will help you with translations, as I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roel22 Posted 15 September , 2013 Share Posted 15 September , 2013 Great material; I'd love to read the translations! (or the German text) Roel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roel22 Posted 15 September , 2013 Share Posted 15 September , 2013 What a great collection! Just one Then & Now (simply love it) Fromelles: There are still graves next to the church (wonder if they got any hits during the war) No idea what the damaged buidling on the left was used for. Many people visiting the new CWGC-cemetery in Fromelles will pass this spot. Not visible on the old photo is the Gallodrome-bar on the right ("Primus") which was visited by so many Anzacs and British soldiers during the war (and during the construction of the cemetery!)

If you in your actual position could fetch up photographs (telescope, aviator etc) as also trench maps or something else, steal as much as you can get, since later on they will be a nice souvenir to you, and at the staff they will be thrown away only.
