Dicke Laura und Der Schusterschemel


The evil brother and sister! The shoemaker's bench and Big Laura. Wiley Möhle from Dankelsheim is posing with a group of dud shells. The evil siblings being a 21cm artillery shell and a trench mortar shell. I can find no reference as to which is which.
Flirey is near Verdun. The Infantry Regiment NR67 spent time there in late 1916.
