Faces of WW2.
Pensive, apprehensive, cheerful. Who knows their stories?
We cannot know - perhaps will never know - from photos so long separated from family.
But they are Everyman. And we should remember them, #RemembranceDay

Alwin Zeun and Max Bölkow, two German soldiers buried alongside each other at Netley Military Cemetery near Southampton.
They both died at the Royal Victoria Hospital #OnThisDay in 1918, the day the armistice was signed and the guns fell silent.

8 yrs ago, I started my 1st #FWW dig, as lead archaeologist, on new sewage collectors around the town of Messines. Trench maps from the desktop-study indicated we would cross several war-related features, but we discovered much more. I'll give an overview in the following days

On this day in 1920 Ivan Bawtree was endorsed by Maj-Gen Fabian Ware, director of @CWGC, to go on a special mission to France to photograph cemeteries on behalf of the War Office to be used for lectures to show what was being done. He had a month to complete the task. (1)
