A young Saxon machine-gunner prepares to go to war.

He appears in full marching order albeit without his helmet and is armed only with a 9mm P08 Luger and steely determination.

Flowers. He's probably just about to go to the Front and has been adorned with flowers by local women and girls sending off the troops.

When I came back, it was a different story and decided to stay with my own kind and stayed another fifteen years. It was good therapy.
