Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

That is a fantastic group!! A top top complete history of a real frontline unit! Thank you for showing it to us. Leon.
My pleasure Leon.
Paul i know about the SWB and GAB documents that they were signed by the Regiment's commander Franz Grossmehl.
The EK doc is signed by someone named Wilhe but i can't make out the letters underneath the signature so couldn't search for him. If we can decipher the letters we will know his rank and it would be easier to check him out.
