Post your "translation needed" here

[CCN]

I picked up some aerial recon photos taken around the Sevastopol area, but can only make out a few words handwritten on the back. Not sure if anyone else can read his writing, but any translation help is appreciated.
Thanks

Want to add some information:

1) "... russ. Stellungen im englischen Friedhof SO of Sewastopol "- ...in the British cemetery

south east of Sewastopol

2)

the field of Russian corps are to be seen in front of the

"Parpatsch - Graben" located on the Crimean Peninsula

The Crimea Shieldas was awarded also for fighting in the battle of Parpatsch: Here the German text from the award order:

" Abwehrkämpfe an der Parpatsch-Stellung vom 19. Januar bis 7. Mai 1942"

I revise my reading and I agree with Uwe: Anton Pietruschka

I found more than 60 entries "Pietruschka" in the Volksbund list but not even one soldier

named "Pintruschka".

Asking for you help on period photo!

Hi, can someone try to read the caption on the sign on the back table.
Its related to the gold for iron program in New York during 1914-15.
There are lines easy to read but others I dont quite make it out.

Sammelstelle
2nd line lost for me
Deustche Historische Gesellschaft???
4th line lost to me
Gold fur eisen
6th line lost for me
Krieg... ring?
the rest lines are lost, too small to read.
I included the original photo that appeared on a Technical World magazine in 1914, and some editing that might help.
Im interested and doing some research on the gold for iron program in the US during the first years of the great war.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Vellocino
