Description
Here is Karl Guess' name scratched into the interior of the rear helmet flange. Still readable after all these years.
Images like these bring us closer to those who fought in battles long ago. Herr Guess' name is known to us. We might not have a photograph of him, but his place in history means a little bit more to we who look at his name, here.
Thank you for looking. A special thanks to you who care to leave a comment.
I owe you a cuppa if you're ever in Portland, Oregon, those of you who have favorited me or an image. Really. Just let me know! Or just a big "Thanks!"

"We might not have a photograph of him, but his place in history means a little bit more to we who look at his name, here." Very true and touching. Nice!
