The graves in the first photograph are those of two men from FA 278(A)s [s = Saxon] who died on 19 May 1918. They are: Ltn d R Joseph Heirich Juchheim, obsever, born in Schwelm on 15 September 1890; and Vfw Karl Roller, pilot, born in Freudenstein on 26 January 1890. Gareth
The graves in the last photograph are those of OfStv Karl Wipperfürth, pilot, born 9 March 1891 in Krefeld, and Hptmn Hermann Thumm, observer, born 1 January 1886 in Frankfurt am Main. The men were serving in FA 3 when killed on 9 May 1915 near Menin. Curiously, I can't find any of the names shown in photo three in Casualties of the German Air Services. Gareth
Thanks Gareth ! Interesting about picture 3 ....... I couldn't find anything either !! ( not that they're not on some list of course ! ) Annie
Found them! The names were a bit garbled, so it's no wonder they were difficult to pin down. Ltn d R Wolfgang Hertel (observer), Ltn d R Max Lohmeyer (pilot), Ltn Hellmuth von Plehn (pilot), Vfw Hugo Schriever (gunner) and Ltn d R Paul Kramer (observer) of Kampfstaffel 8/Kampfgeschwader 2, were killed on 27 May 1917 at Aussonce. The how and why might require some more research. Gareth
You beat me to it Gareth !!!!!!! ... just as I was getting ready to post !! Ltn.d.R. Hertel Wilfgang 27 May 1917 Aussonce Vzfeldw. Schriever Hugo 27 May 1917 Aussonce Ltn. Plehn Hellmuth 27 May 1917 Aussonce Ltn.d.R. Lohmeyer Max 27 May 1917 Aussone Annie
