Thanks Mate, I'll start a bit research about them. What does the text on the back say? Cheers, Richard.

What does the text on the back say? Cheers, Richard.

It says...:

"Zur frdl. [= freundlichen]
Erinnerung
Juli 1941"

...meaning...:

"As a friendly
memory
July 1941"

Thanks HPL2008, much appreciated

This is the last one for a while. Fresh from this mornings post & not a portrait for a change!!, Cheers, Richard.

This one says:

"20.7.1944.
Auf dem Schießstand
Leeuwarden.
Oberbootsmann Dietz
Obermaat Meier
" Leiss"

...meaning:

"20 July 1944.
On the shooting range
Leeuwarden.
Oberbootsmann Dietz
Obermaat Meier
Obermaat Leiss"

Leeuwarden is the capital city of the Dutch province of Friesland.

(PS: Note the date 20 July 1944. The men would have listened to the news that day with great interest...!)
