#ThrowbackThursday

Here is my Great Grandfather, probably taken in the 1900s. We have a 1919 'Honourable Discharge' for him from the British Army, which is currently with a paper conservator to stabilise.

Sadly he died in 1920 from the ongoing side effects of Mustard Gas in World War I.

Inglourious Basterds

A very normal house in Innsbruck, not at all conspicuous. This house, however, during the last weeks of world war II, played a major role in ending the war. The events inspired Quentin Tarantino's movie 'Inglourious Basterds'. The true story is too complex to fit in 500 characters but some of our greeters can tell you more.
