Welcome to the forum June.

Sharing photos with the relatives is not easy as you first need to identify who, where when and why, then track down relatives. Its possible but difficult.

Could you post some of the images here for us to see then we'll do our best to start identifying units or periods of the war.

Hope you enjoy the forum.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
