Story Description
- Mehrere Feldpostkarten, 1915-1917
- Brief von Lammert an Friedrich 03.03.1917
- Entlassungsschein Dirk Jacobs
- Dienstzeitbescheinigung Dirk Jacobs
Briefe und Kriegsdokumente von Dirk, Gerhard, Friedrich, Rudolf und Lammert Jacobs aus Weener an der Ems. Von den sechs Brüdern Jacobs dienten vier im Krieg und schrieben sich während ihrer Einsätze. Rudolf und Gerhard fielen, Dirk geriet in Gefangenschaft. Friedrich erkrankte und kam ins Lazarett. Lammert Jacobs war nicht im Krieg, er schrieb aus Bremen an Friedrich.
Dirk Jacobs (*1883) war Infanterist und geriet in Gefangenschaft in Südfrankreich. Gerhard Jacobs (*Mitte bis Ende 1880er Jahre) war ebenfalls Infanterist und fiel vermutlich an der Somme. Friedrich (*1892) diente als Richtkanonier im 33. Lothringischen Feldartillerieregiment vor Verdun. Schon vor Kriegsbeginn eingezogen, und ursprünglich stationiert in Metz, wurde er im Laufe des Krieges Gefreiter. Das Regiment wurde von der Westfront abgezogen, um auf dem Balkan an Gebirgskämpfen bei Mazedonien teilzunehmen, u.a. bei Skolpje. Ca. April 1918 erkrankte Friedrich an Malaria, Gelbsucht und Ruhr und kam in ein Lazarett in Friedrichsfeld bei Wesel. Rudolf (29.08.1894-21.02.1917) war Infanterist, fiel vermutlich an der Somme.
Zu den Geschwistern gehörte noch ein Bruder (Heinrich) und zwei Schwestern.

Enrichment Mode
Edit your workspace view by using the top-right menu.
You can have the white Activity Panel docked to the right (default) , to the bottom , or as an independent overlay . If you just want to view the image, you can hide the panel using the minimise button , and then re-open it with the pen button. Adjust the size and position of your Activity Panel according to your preferences.
You enrich documents by following a step-by-step process.
Make sure you regularly save your enrichments in each step to avoid the risk of losing your work.
Step 1: Transcription
To start a transcription, select the transcription tab at the top menu of the Activity Panel. Click inside the box underneath the heading TRANSCRIPTION and start writing your transcription. When needed, use the toolbar to format your text and to add special characters and tables. A guide to the transcription toolbar is available in the Formatting section of this tutorial.
Identify the language(s) of the text using the dropdown list under the transcription box. You can select multiple languages at once.
If the item has no text to transcribe, tick the checkbox ‘No Text’.
Once you have finished your transcription, click SAVE.
Step 2: Description
You can add a description to the item underneath the Transcription section.
The first task is to identify what type of document the item is: a handwritten or printed document, a postcard, photo, drawing and/or part of a diary. Tick the category which best applies to the item. Multiple categories can be selected at once.
The second task is to write a description of the contents. Click inside the box underneath the heading DESCRIPTION. Here, you can write what the item is, what it is about, and specify the images and objects that appear in the item.
Identify the language of the description text that you wrote using the dropdown list underneath. You can only select one language.
Once you have finished your description, click SAVE.
Step 3: Location
If you find a location mentioned or recognise a place in the item, you can create a geotag and pin it to the item map. Multiple locations can be attached to the item. To tag locations, select the tagging tab at the top menu of the Activity Panel. Click the plus next to the heading LOCATIONS. Type the location into the search bar and select the result that best applies. A new pin will be placed into the map. The location name should be a clear georeference, e.g. a country, city or address. Make adjustments to the location name if necessary. You can also adjust the position of the pin by dragging it on the map. If you want to add further details to the location, you can write a (short) description. This could include extra information about the geotag (e.g. the building name or a significant event that took place at the location) or the relevance of the place to the item (e.g. the hometown of the author). You can also add a Wikidata reference to link the location to a stable source. Search for the reference using the Wikidata fields. Once you have finished your location tag, click SAVE. You can find the place(s) tagged to the item in grey at the bottom of the Location(s) section.Step 4: Tagging
Below the Locations section is the Tagging section, where you can add the following annotations:
Document Date:Here, you can add dates that correspond to the item. This could include the dates mentioned in the text (e.g. in diary pages), the date of a related historical event (e.g. the end of WWI), or when the item was created (e.g. from a dated signature on an illustration). You can either define this as a single date or as a longer time frame.
To tag dates to the item, write the start and end dates in DD/MM/YYYY format in the fields or select the dates by clicking on the calendar.
If you only have one date to add, insert the same date into both start and end fields.
If you don’t know the exact days, you can also tag the date on the scale of months (MM/YYYY) or years (YYYY).
Once you have finished your date tag, click SAVE DATE.
People:People mentioned as creators or subjects in the item can also be tagged. Depending on the information you might have, you can enter the person’s first and last names, as well as their dates of birth and death. There is also the option to write a short description of the person, explaining who they are or their relevance to the item, e.g. the person’s occupation or their relation to another tagged person.
Multiple people can be tagged to one item.
Once you have finished your person tag, click SAVE.
Keywords:Here, you can freely add keywords related to the topic and content of the item. This could include particular themes (e.g. art, music, war), subjects (e.g. children, cooking, France), or particular historical affiliations (e.g. 20th century, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Fall of the Iron Curtain).
Multiple keywords can be added and they can be written in any language.
Write your keyword tag into the field and click SAVE.
Other Sources:External websites with information about the item’s content can be linked here. This could include links to further data about a person mentioned, a particular historical event or links to digital versions of newspapers that appear in photos or clippings in a notebook.
To add a link, click the plus next to the heading ‘Other Sources’. Enter the URL into the Link field, and write a short description of this link in the Additional Description field.
Multiple links can be tagged to one item.
Once you have finished your tag, click SAVE.
Step 5: Mark for Review
Once you have saved your contribution, the task will automatically change to the Edit status. If you think the task is finished, you can mark it for review. Note that you have to be at Runner level or above to do this (see: Miles and Levels). Click on the yellow circle next to the section heading and select Review in the list that appears. The task now needs to go under Review by another volunteer.Formatting
Use the toolbar to format your Transcription text or to add extra details to it.
You can format your text using the various styles and alignment tools:
Use bold for headings, and italics, underline and 
button to remove any formatting changes.Review
All enrichments need to be edited and reviewed by more than one volunteer to ensure that they are as accurate as possible.
Only Sprinters and Champions can edit tasks in the Review stage and mark them as Complete. (see: Miles and Levels)
You can review a task (Transcription, Description, Locations, or Tagging) when the circle next to the heading is coloured orange .
During the review process, pay close attention to the following requirements:
-
- Transcription: The complete text in the item has been properly transcribed and the transcription is formatted as accurately as possible. The correct language(s) are selected and the transcription contains no missing or unclear icons.
-
- Description: The description is accurate and detailed (especially items without text to transcribe, e.g. photos), and the appropriate categories have been ticked.
-
- Location(s): All locations have been correctly tagged. The location name is accurate and matches the coordinates and the pin on the map. The description is clear and concise, and the Wikidata reference (if any) is correct.
-
- Tagging: Document dates are completed and as precise as possible. All mentioned people are tagged and their data is correct. All added keywords are applicable to the item, and other sources have accurate information and functioning links.
