1918 German School Photo
Many years ago I ran into some class pictures of my grade school class at a flea market and ever since I have found class pictures to be an interesting reflection of their times. Sorting through some family pictures I found this 1918 School photo from Dusseldorf, Germany. I say school since the age range of the children must have been more than just one class. The picture is described as “leaf collecting”. I am not sure as to why leaves were being collected. Were they edible or just for cooking fires ? By this time due to the privations of WWI the population was suffering from malnutrition and disease. The kids in the photo reflect that situation and are wearing old hand-me-down clothes including a lot of old military uniform parts and enough military hats to make a collector drool.
looks amazing, the school years were at all times quite a difficult period of life for everyone. Fortunately, nowadays there are services to write my essay like https://uk.edubirdie.com/write-my-essay in which I am one of the foumders that help students gain knowledge and have more time for their hobbies.
So bittersweet but also bsolutely amazing! That's incredible piece of history from war times you've shared.
Thanks Shooshoo.
