Joseph Gulde (1896-1983) served his country during World War One. He was stationed on the Western Front in France and guarded prisoners. I have in my possession his journal of his time in the war. He played the bugle and woke the soldiers each morning. Photos that he took while he was stationed there and in Germany after the war, reveal that he was fascinated by the beautiful architecture especially of the churches and cathedrals. Much more of his service during World War One will be posted on this blog. This photo was likely taken in 1919. In this shot, Joseph poses with a friend. He wrote the following on the back of the postcard:
To Aunt from Joe-
That "A" on my arm is the insignia of the army of occupation.
