Photo diary of an ordinary German soldier

34 Items

The photos were taken by my great-great uncle Wilhelm Ludwig Beck. He was an ordinary but, as this photograph shows, also a very proud German soldier. Wilhelm took his camera to war where he recorded the terrible sights that he witnessed. Unfortunately he died just aged 24 years and was buried in Souain (France) in a mass grave. || || Wilhelm Ludwig Beck || Photograph || Wilhelm Ludwig Beck (my great-great uncle) || English || Deutsch || Remembrance || || Artillery || English || Wilhelm Ludwig Beck || Photograph || Remembrance || Group photo || The persons on the photo are numbered. 1: Lt.
