Erine Posted 11 November , 2014 Share Posted 11 November , 2014 Please check out my new blog project about 2 brothers from our town in Germany who served in the First World War. I have recently gained access to their diaries and letters and am transcribing and translating them. The blog is called World War I Letters and Diaries of the Kiefer Brothers, and you can call it up here: www.thekieferbrothers.blogspot.de I hope this is of interest.

JWK Posted 11 November , 2014 Share Posted 11 November , 2014 Erine, it certainly is ! I'll be following your blog with great interest ! What a great initiative, and good luck with all the translating ! After 88 letters from Fritz Limbach I now know that the German and English languages do not always see eye to eye to put it mildly JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German IR 169 Posted 16 November , 2014 Share Posted 16 November , 2014 Hi Ernie, John Rieth, from Phoenix AZ here. I just checked out your website. What an impressive job, thanks for adding to the German WW I experience in the English language. My grandfather's story was similar to Fritz's, he was a German war vet (from Pforzheim) who immigrated to the US (Rhode Island) in the mid 1920's. Some years ago, I was able to get his journal translated to English, which became the genesis of a book I recently published "Imperial Germany's Iron Regiment of the First World War; War Memories of service with Infantry Regiment 169 1914-1918." (I placed additional information on the book in the book pages of the GW forum.) I intend to create a website and facebook page for the book, and the great work you did with your website has given me some ideas on how to present this. All the best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erine Posted 13 December , 2014 Author Share Posted 13 December , 2014 Hi, thanks, just read the above comments! Thanks for your support. The site www.thekieferbrothers.blogspot.de has grown a bit since I last posted and I've put up some new photos and diary entries which I found very interesting. How interesting about your grandfather John. Pforzheim is quite near to Ettlingen, the home of the soldiers recorded in my 2 blogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
