2 foto's van Arthur Lesage - 1 foto van Achiel Lesage en 1 van Nonkel Cyriel || Rita Vanhollebeke bezorgt foto's van een drietal van haar familieleden die tijdens WO I militair in het Belgisch leger waren. Arthur Lesage was haar dooppeter en werd tijdens de oorlogsverrichtingen door de Duitsers krijgsgevangen genomen en verbleef in die hoedanigheid in het Kriegsgefangenen-Lager Soltau (Cordingen). Deze plaats situeert zich tussen Bremen en Hannover. Aan de hand van drie kaartjes, twee door Arthur verstuurd en één die hij ontving, verbleef hij er alvast tussen april 1916 en november 1917. De juiste duur van de gevangenschap is niet gekend. Achiel Lesage was haar grootvader langs moeders zijde, doch van zijn militaire activiteiten is niets gekend. Tenslotte was er nog Cyriel Lesage, broer van Arthur, die eveneens in Duitse krijgsgevangenschap terecht kwam maar ook omtrent de omstandigheden hiervan is er geen informatie gekend. || || Photograph || Foto van Arthur bij de foto van zijn vrouw. || Arthur Lesage bij foto van zijn vrouw Marie Delporte || || Photograph || Arthur Lesage || || Cyriel Lesage || Photograph || || Achiel Lesage als personeelslid van de Société Générale. || Photograph || || Briefkaart gericht aan Arthur (1917) || Postcard || Arthur Lesage || || Postcard || Briefkaart van Arthur aan Richard Lesage uit Marke (1916) || || Arthur Lesage || Postcard || Briefkaart van Arthur aan Cyrille Delporte (1917)
