In den alten Familienunterlagen fand ich verschiedene Feldpostkarten meines Urgoßvaters und seines Bruders an meine Urgroßmutter, die den Anschein erwecken, dass beide Brüder die Zeit an der Westfront recht glimpflich überstanden haben. || verschiedene Feldpostkarten von der Westfront aus Frankreich und Belgien von Paul Berndt an seine Frau bzw. von seinem Bruder Alfred Berndt an seine Schwägerin Anna (geb. Ruseler), wohnhaft bei Ihren Eltern in Moorhausen bei Varel (Oldenburg). Eine einzelne Karte kommt von Georg Ruseler (Bruder von Anna) und ist gerichtet an seinen Schwager Paul Berndt.

Aus dem Nachlass von Maria Schmoll, der Großmutter des Teilnehmers stammt eine Sammlung von Feldpostkarten, die hauptsächlich zwischen ihren Brüdern und den Eltern in Gunzenhausen ausgetauscht wurden. Die Geschwister waren - Friedrich Schmoll, der 1893 geboren wurde und 1917 starb; Leonhard Georg, geboren 1889; Johann Michael Schmoll, geboren 1863, ein Schumacher und Landwirt, starb 1936; sowie Maria Schmoll, verheiratete Donner, geboren 1900, verstorben 1933. Auf den Postkarten sind zahlreiche, idealisierte Darstellungen von Schlachten, des Soldatentodes und von Szenen aus dem Soldatenleben zu finden. Hinzu kommen Postkarten mit Bilder des Einsatzes der Artillerie und der Pioniere, sowie Bilder von Kriegsgefangenen, zumeist unbeschriftete Porträts und Gruppenporträts, der Einheiten in denen die Brüder dienten, sowie Bilder, die aus dem wirtschaftlichen Leben während des Krieges. Einige Postkarten zeigen politische Parolen und viele sind rein dekorativ. Es gibt mehrere Ansichtskarten u.a. von den Orten: Gunzenhausen, Landau (Pfalz), Ingolstadt, Fürth i. B., Truppenübungsplatz Grafenwöhr, Weissenburg i.B., Köln, Lager Hammelburg, Truppenlager Grafenwöhr, Berlin, Augsburg, Herbesthal, Köln, München, , der Hesselberg mit Bismarckturmprojekt (bei Wassertrüdingen), Offenburg, Metz, Brüssel, Baccarat, Ailles, Saint-Mihiel, Ostende, Messines, Grandcourt, St. Julien bei Metz, Longwy, Liège, Jaulny bei Ehiaucourt
