BACKGROUND: Basic human instinct dictates that soldiers in the field, regardless of nationality, long for their loved ones at home. As a result it was very common for these soldiers to have themselves photographed and send the photos home. As today, there were also numerous other reasons to pose for a photograph, new appointments, promotions, weddings anniversaries etc., etc..

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Roughly, 2 3/8" x 3 1/4", light-weight cardstock, black and white photograph featuring two Unteroffiziers wearing overseas caps and early pattern jump smocks walking down a desolate road.
