Something for Helen
« on: 20 May 2008, 02:57:58 PM »
Dear Helen,
In a local auction catalogue, where you can find some interesting photos etc material for WW1, WW2 and balkan wars I found one interesting postcard.

Legend translates: "German naval arillery alongwith turks fire against the mixed English and French fleet at Dardanelles"

link: http://www.collectio.gr/database/auction.asp?page=4&lotno1=3000

item lot 3152

Hope you like

Not Helen (of course), but I wanted to thank you for this link.  Cool stuff in there.  Would you mind translating all the rest of them as well?   :D

Dear Mancha and all,

If you need a specific translation for something I can do, the whole catalogue impossible.

All 4000 lots???

That's asking too much, huh?   :D

I love the hat in Lot 3347.  And the juxtaposition of the gun and tights in Lot 3341 makes me grin too.

Thanks again for the link.
