Ir0n Cr0ss Posted 3 December , 2006 Share Posted 3 December , 2006 Hello all! Wow I can not imagine how much history my family had. These are some of the WW1 pictures I have that I got today including A LOT of World War 2/ and some WW1 pictures all from my family. I also recieved a medal from one of my relitives along with his "army passport" that he got when he joined the Army. I am amazed with what I can find out that sooo much more people were in wars in my family than I thought. So here we are....... Back row , far right He is the tallest one (seconed from the left) Note that all my relitives were German. Please visit my photobucket album and reply! Sorry for the bad quality! http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/HalfAM/?start=0 Ir0n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KevinEndon Posted 3 December , 2006 Share Posted 3 December , 2006 Whilst touching this up I couldn’t help be see the one heck of a resemblance between the chap 5th in on the back row and the chap with the arrow above his head in this picture. Could they be the same bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ir0n Cr0ss Posted 3 December , 2006 Author Share Posted 3 December , 2006 Thank you everyone for the cheerfull comments. I also have equipment and uniform from that person in the far left in the back on the first photo but it has to be passed down from my mother. I will look for some information. I also have some names if anyone wants to help find out. And Kevinaka who knows maybe my relitives were in the same unit as Hitler! Ill scan some more. But does anyone want me to scan the WerPaß ( Military Passport) And I have some more pictures but from WW2, the other Great War photos are in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

peter__m Posted 3 December , 2006 Share Posted 3 December , 2006 Those do look remarkably like some pictures of Hitler I've seen. 'Hitler was enrolled in the 1st Company of the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment. Unofficially it was known as the 'List' Regiment, named after its original Commander, Colonel Von List...On 21 October 1914 the List Regiment entrained for the Western Front. After a two-day journey they reached Lille and were promptly attached to the 6th Bavarian Division in Crown Prince Rupprecht's VI Army. The German army was in the throes of fighting the First Ypres.' Now you need to find out more about what regiment these are pictures of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ir0n Cr0ss Posted 3 December , 2006 Author Share Posted 3 December , 2006 Actually egbert on this part you put, "brother of our Grandma Johanna Zinkgraf in France 1914/18" That is right but it is not "our". It is Oma=Grandmother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
