🕵️‍♂️ How to date a photo with no info? ▶️ 103e Régiment 💐 Look at the flowers In France, 1st May = Muguet, a good-luck tradition often sent home in letters or held in photos. Here, it’s not muguet but looks like white lilac, maybe they couldn’t find muguet? 📅 So best educated guess? Around 1st May.

26.7.16 Massiges Nothing new, we still don't have any rest, because it's just always chores, still great weather, what great weather, but we shouldn't be locked up and kept like this. We are going to stay 8 days here, before doing 8 days in the 1st line, as I thought… but at least its quiet

5.7.16 Couple of words before leaving the trenches. Am healthy & nothing new. We are impatiently waiting to leave, but it will be hard because we have a long way to go, at least 4 to 5 hours of walking, which the shoulders will not like! I kiss you my darling. See you tomorrow

#OTD 1st July 1916 Battle of the Somme Lasted 170 days for the French. Whilst still fiercely fighting at Verdun 1st July-31st August 19,000 🇫🇷 died-Verdun 23,000 🇫🇷 died-Somme Today also remember the forgotten ally
