I was cleaning-up the attack and came across and old and heavy damaged old picture from 1908.
I pinned the picture on the wall and made a new picture, corrected the bad spots and damage .
And here it is, my grand grand father on the right.

    Thanks, He was with the infantry. A group called "jagers te paard" , translated "the hunters by horse".
    He did survive with gas longs, He got caught by a German gas cloud which drifted over the his trench.
    Lucky for him, it was at the edges of the poisons could. He fully recovered. His fellow soldiers as seen in the picture were not that lucky. The one on the left and the one in the middle fell in the WWI.

    That is what I know from his memoirs , as he kept a daily record his whole live.

    Tragic times - visited the War Graves over your side of the Channel a couple of years ago - humbling experience.
