Re: German Handwriting (on back of photos)
Hello Stev,
On the first pic, i am able to read
Ostflandern= Province of East Flanders
Belgien (I guess) following by the name of the town Ronse = Renaix in french language and the second town is Oudenaarde.
The other pics...............????????
Maybe at the last pic it's Engl. Flug.................in Hasselt Belgien = Engl............(maybe aircraft) in Hasselt Belgium (Hasselt is a town in the province of Limburg.
Kindly regards
Prosper

Re: German Handwriting (on back of photos)
Prosper if youre talking about the transcribtion in the last photo it´s "Engl-[ische] Fliegerbombe in Hasselt, Belgien".
A296 starts with "Französisches Geschütz..." below this A273 "Notübergang in Belgien".
I assume that the front sides would help a lot as they show what the descriptions mention.

Many thanks to you

Ref Nos 52:
This pic is given me a hard time, not able to decypher completely. I hate his hand writing:
Line 1:
Munition ? ?
Ammunition ? ?
Line 2:
? der ersten (Staffel ?)
Line3:
in der Feuerstellung
in the firing position
Maybe someone can read more.
Best Regards
