Machine Gunners Photo
I thought this was an interesting early war original photo I purchased some time ago. Looks like a machine gun training session with 3 gunners in camo cover helmets . I can't read German so I was hoping I might find a translator on the forum to help out.
cheers, Keith
Very interesting photo , looks like they are training off the Lafette tripod in SF Fire , the helmet covers are very unusual for that period !
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
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
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Thanks much Paul. Would it be possible to move my post to the german photographs and postcards forum? Cheers, Keith
The first time they used the ZF, the man at left is reading the manual !!!!
