Re: [Cz-L] Reconquest of Czernowitz on 6th August 1917

No wonder that the population of Czernowitz welcomed the Emperor,
during the war the Russian army had sacked the city, caused fire and famine
and much suffering. My parents spoke often about that time. My mother's
family "gingen auf die Flucht" (fled) to Budapest and my father's family,
not having relatives in more peaceful locations, stayed and suffered.

You can view photographs of my two grandfathers and the influence the
Austrian army had on them, at:

I will be adding more photographs to this album.
