Least we forget... Post # 55: I had the same thought, t. Number 4 does look more like a painting to me, too. And the pants, shirts and caps in # 18 have a much more modern appearance than those in all the other photos, which lead me to believe that it's from WWII or at least a lot later than the First World War. Great pictures! Least we forget…

My Great-Grandfather fought in WWI... one of the stories that I heard relayed to me by my Grand Mother was that the soldiers would sing back and forth to each other on some nights. During the Christmas that he was in the trenches, they exchanged food, drinks and some pieces of "War Art" with the "enemy". It seems funny when you think about it. War was just something that they were doing, it was not who they were. War today does not do this... it is all or nothing now. After the war, mt Great-Grandfather actually ended up staying in touch with a couple of the german soldiers he met that Christmas and they remained good friends until my G-G-Father died of liver disease in 1949. I will have to post his picture online in a day or so then put the link up here. Thanks for the pictures! Samuel Wright www.samuraimarineblog.com Great pictures…
