Hello Brecht,

I have a original picture of the temporary grave of Josef Markl .
the picture of this temporary grave is taken in the monastery (Kloostertuin) garden (Moerdijk) , Some weeks later they were all re-located in Dordrecht.
It's funny to finally see a picture of Josef Markl.

Hi Remco,

Thanx for this addition, nice to see some of the early campaign photographic material is still around.

Met vriendelijke groet uit België

Great death cards Brecht! Such early cards are tough to find. I think I still have a couple and will send you a PM.
