Album from Engineer

[jock auld]

Guys,

Got this one today.

I like the discovery of the locomotive in the colapsed/blown tunnel.

It looks like it was dug out by hand, I see no plant machinery?

Shame about the ambulace train it looks like they buried the French soldiers directly beside it and made a nice mosaice (may not be visible on pic this size).

I hate to see the poor bloody animals that are victims of the war without choice.

Looks like they are prepping some defensive locations and are blowing the ground before digging.

I also quite like the 'last supper' before loading up on the train (spork in use).

Regards

Jock

Hi, Jock !

Nice album........


I love the photo of the 'Spork' in use ! (2nd last photo - would 'Verladung'
mean he is filling or loading himself with food ?)

Nope, he's about to board a train.

Right after lunch.............

In fact the NSV (sort of a social services organization) maintained soup kitchens at the railway stations to feed the soldiers during rail transfers.

In the (admittedly rather unlikely ) case anybody wondered and always wanted to know: the German word for "spork" is "Göffel" [from "Gabel" (= fork) + "Löffel" (spoon)] I kid you not.

Interesting tidbit, HLP.

I suppose they should actually be called 'Foons' then - en Anglais.
Although 'Spork' does sound better...........!

In any case, Jock, you are always finding such interesting photos to share with us !

HPL,

I will add it to my vocab but as I try to learn more German I have to forget childhood memories. I find it vey difficult!

Thanks
