Henry Joel (Harry) Perrin | 1887-1918

Harry was on the Somme and at Ypres. His family brought a recording and album (in a loose-leaf binder) giving a pictiorial summary and explanation of Harry Perrin's life. This includes his personal, family history. There are also two candelsticks supposedly bought in Ypres, a cap badge from the Maginot Line, a souvenir thumb dictionary, two bibles belonging to Harry and a dead comrade. (The family don't know how this came about.)

Henry 'Harry' Lucas's Medals

1 Item

The silver or bronze medal was awarded to officers and men of the British and Imperial Forces who either entered a theatre of war or entered service overseas between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918 inclusive. This was later extended to services in Russia, Siberia and some other areas in 1919 and 1920. It was decided that each of the allies should each issue their own bronze victory medal with a similar design, similar equivalent wording and identical ribbon. The British medal was designed by W. McMillan. The front depicts a winged classical figure representing victory.

Haß | Claus (1887-1918) - Maschinenmaat

4 Items

Mein Großonkel Claus Haß war das uneheliche älteste Kind meiner Urgroßmutter und wuchs in Hamdorf (Kreis Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein) zusammen mit zwei jüngeren Brüdern auf. Die Mutter hatte 1896 einen Landwirt geheiratet. Claus war Maschinenmaat bei der Sperrfahrzeugdivision in Cuxhaven (auf dem Gruppenfoto an Bord ist er rechts zu sehen). Ein Vierteljahr nach seiner Postkarte an den jüngeren (Halb-)Bruder Wilhelm Johannsen, der auch Soldat war, kam er ums Leben: Er ertrank in der Nordsee am 20. April 1918. Sein Name wird auf der Hamdorfer Gefallenentafel genannt. Die Postkarte zeigt sein letztes im Militär gefeiertes Weihnachtsfest 1917 (auf der linken Seite sitzend, 5. von links). Postkarte Claus Haß an (seinen Halbbruder) Wilhelm Johannsen Foto: Matrosen an langer, mit Geschenken und Äpfeln dicht belegter Tafel, im Hintergrund geschmückter Weihnachtsbaum Rückseite: „Cuxhaven d. 6. Jan. 1918. Lieber Br. Wilhelm! Alle Feiertage liegen jetzt hinter uns, hoffentlich hast Du sie gut verlebt, was bei mir auch zutrifft. Vor Weihnachten, am 27. Nov. habe ich 100 Zigaretten an Dich abgeschickt. Allerdings habe ich nicht 781, sondern 787 adressiert, hast Du selbige bekommen? Aus der Adresse deines Briefes habe ich 787 gelesen. Die Feiertage haben wir sehr gut verlebt, umseitige Blitzlichtaufnahme am Heiligen Abend während der Bescherung. Jetzt schließt mit herzl. Sonntagsgruß dein Bruder Klaus.“ || || Weihnachten, Christmas, Matrosen, Sailors || Weihnachts-Postkarte von Claus Haß an Wilhelm Johannsen || Photograph || || Postcard || Postkarte von Claus Haß an Wilhelm Johannsen || || Photograph || Haß, Claus || || Photograph || Matrosen, Sailors, || Clauß Haß Gruppenbild auf Schiff
