| This is a military service certificate that was given to my
great grandfather Jean Springer (1864-1895). The text is in German and
mainly relates to the strength of the union and the good of the country.
Actual photos of his face were cut out and affixed to each of the figures.
I have seen other examples of these. If you are familiar with the history
behind these certificates, drop me a note via e-mail. |
