GERMAN WWI PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM AND PAPERWORK

A small album of a German driver on the Western and Eastern Fronts of WWI. The album contains 47 images, French scenes around Verdun with German soldiers, observation balloons being used over the battlefield, an interesting shot of Jager Zu Pferde soldiers wearing gas masks, trench scenes, officers identified, a large format picture of what appears to be an Austrian soldier lying dead, a destroyed airship, and burning railway stations in Warsaw. At the rear of the album is a mounted Cossack officer dated 1,916 plus captured Bulgarian officers with an Austrian officer. Accompanying the album are both the Wehrpass and the soldier of Feldwebel Richard Hubner. It is very difficult to obtain both the Wehrpass and the Soldbuch of the same soldier, especially in WWI. Both books are profusely filled with many inlaid documents. He was also attached at one stage to the Prussian Flying Station at Cologne. Accompanying the two passes are a huge amount of other documents, including citations to the Iron Cross 2nd class, the Bulgarian WWI Service Award, which was awarded in 1939, a Third Reich awarded 1914 War Honour Cross, a certificate for an award from the City of Bremen, plus other related military documents from the period. Also, wedding photographs of Hubner dated ‘30th March 1918’ in full military uniform with his wife. An interesting and identified documentation and album group.
