I don`t know what you "suspected", but I`ll answer with one verse of the great Bulgarian poet
Dimcho Debelyanov who was kill on the front line during WW1. The verse was written right there just before his dead.
Dead one is not my enemy anymore
He isn`t our enemy anymore.
These which stood alive,
mighty wave wash them away
somewhere on the other hills
There he is- on the bottom of a trench,
lying calm and pallid
with reconciled grief look at
the blue deep sky.
And onto the grey ground,
warmed from southern air,
vibrating useless letters,
sprinkle with blood.
Who he is and who he was?
Whose called him against us
in days of great victories
to die without anything?
Would his mother`s love
recieve in this black misery
and what will happen
when she learn?
Stupid pity, mindless pity
in this stormy, cruel time!
Didn`t he give his live
in attempt to take another's?
Is it possible dressed with this uniform
to expect mercy from him?
No, he takes what he search for!
Dead one is not my enemy anymore!
This topic is about authentic photograph`s from WW1. If you have something please post it, no matter whose side represented...
