Two young uncles of mine were lost in France & Ukraine 1914-1915

Two of ten children died in the First World War. Both were sons of Franz & Margarethe Herold in Offenbach am Main, Nordring 62, Germany, my paternal grandparents. When her son Georg 1 was killed in the war, my grandmother Margarethe bore a new 10th son at the age of 49 and she gave him the same name. This is my father Georg Herold, born on Nov 12 1915 in Offenbach am Main, Nordring 62.
