Chistmas...

Taking the train in Arques, Nord-Pas-De-Calais, France.

After they got their Urlaubschein, they went to the railwaystation...

Service isn't on their mind anymore...

































No, now it's only waiting to get home!

To pass the time one can play with a kitten...

Or you can go and have a drink by the DRK aid station where there are friendly Schwestern...

Or some DRK-Helferinnen who will serve you water for the tirsty soldiers...

One of the Artilleristen went for a refill...

Only happy faces when the train finaly arrives!

Everyboddy's Soldbuch is inspected by the Feldgendarme...

The jouney is long, so the Nurse fell asleep after a long shift...

An officer left his magazine at the DRK aidstation and it's someting to pass the time with...
