Bemused Posted 1 July , 2018 Share Posted 1 July , 2018 After a good few hours reading I have reached the end of this wonderful thread. I'm struggling to find the right words but I agree with everything previous readers have said. A great, humbling, emotional read, thanks Egbert for sharing.

Martin Feledziak Posted 5 December , 2019 Share Posted 5 December , 2019 Greetings Egbert. I hope you don't mind me dropping this on your thread. I am going to suggest that this is my Grandfathers WW1 trunk. It stands to reason that all soldiers would need to have some personal items with them on the front line. This is a family item which my Father used as a tool box. Just looking for your views, Seasons Greetings Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 6 December , 2019 Author Share Posted 6 December , 2019 (edited) looks like a ww1 chest, painted black at a later point in time? Same like the one where my Grandmother stored the field letters..... Edited 13 April , 2020 by egbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clk Posted 4 March , 2021 Share Posted 4 March , 2021 Hi egbert, That's really impressive, to see what can be done to bring a 100 year old image back to life. Thanks so very much for posting. Not quite sure though if Gottfried had a freckle on his nose though...LOL Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egbert Posted 5 March , 2021 Author Share Posted 5 March , 2021 thanx guys, I will also post some of the b/w images in color shortly. And yes the nose-spot surely results from the not so perfect condition of the old b/w image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Mackenzie Posted 18 March , 2021 Share Posted 18 March , 2021 Great picture Egbert. I would never have guessed that it was the same one as that on page 19! Do you know where the picture was taken? Surely not near the farm where he died although it seems quite late in his war? Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
