WWI

[home]    [Harry H. Wachdorf]    [Wachdorf index]

This is a gallery of the photos of Harry H. Wachdorf related to his service in France in WWI. Family lore says he brought back a photo album of shots he took on battlefields abroad that was impressive enough that his brother, Edward, kept it after Harry's death, and passed it to his son, Ed Jr, whose son Edward III had it. When EJ3 died, the photo album could not be found.
