        Almost transcribed an entire letter of a Kompanieführer to the widow of a man who was KIA in Belgium, but could use some help with a few last words....

        #1: Das ........, an dessen Spitze die 9. Komp. war, hat an dem Tage schwer gelitten
        #2: Ich habe ihn …… ……. in …. …… Vynckt, auf einem freien Felde. (about his burrial)

            Ich habe ihn selbst bestattet in dem Dorfe... is what I read. It would be useful to see more of the writing to get a better feel for the penmanship.

                  Card in

                  Just found this card in the pocket of a Waffenrock I have owned for years.
                  Can anyone read the last name?
                  Take it the card has something to do with becoming a parent?

                    Name is Franz Jupp.

                    No idea on the baby motif...I don't think so. Looks like a flamingo vs. a stork.

                      "Jupp" makes perfect sense, thanks. Should have thought of that.

                            The other word could be " Albrecht " (?)
