Richard Wahl was a very reluctant soldier.
The first part of his Diary is up in the "Whats new" section. Wahl was incredibly happy to keep away from the front for as long as possible, did all he could to get of a Machine Gunners course, was not to happy to land up in Avocourt Forest on the border of the Verdun campaign... and was pretty unhappy about being gassed in May of 1916. He missed his chance to be captured by Sgt York who catured his company in late 1918, by which time Wahl was guarding POWS.
Objectively, Wahl seems to have been a very sensible man indeed, feet firmly on the ground and more interest in his wife and child than going to war.

Also some killer photos added to the Machine Gun Photo Album...

Hi Gene,

It was almost a religious experiance visiting the section of Forest where E.E. died. Ditto for his grave.

Its one of those things that really makes history come alive for me...

One of the reasons I developed an interest in the Iron Cross was the William E. Hamelman book "German Iron Cross Documents of World War 1". Dr Hamelman passed away last here. J.C. has provided a small Obituary HERE

The Operations in the Tochi Valley, Waziristan, 1914 - 15 and the Victoria Cross of Captain Eustace Jotham HERE

A new page has been added to the Machine Gun Photo Album. HERE

Please check out Harry's article from the previous update as new photos have been added.
