In remembrance of the World War..... I have no knowledge of the flags you mention - the German flag is :- black, yellow and red horizontal equal sized stripes. Best of luck with your research. Rita. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Heywood" <david@heatherkop.freeserve.co.uk> To: <ENG-LAN-MIDDLETON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 11:01 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-LAN-MIDDLETON-L] James Heywood in Rhodes Hi Rita Many thanks for your info on the German meaning of Seelig which is new to me. I rather expect a German connection somewhere in the Heywood line if I ever get past James. I acquired some early German stamps from my father and a very interesting memorial card which I do not remember seeing while I could still ask about it and how it was. The inscription reads 'Sur Erinnerung an den Well-krieg 1914-1917'. It appears to be commemorating a gunner who served in the First World War from 1914 to 1917. Four flags are shown, clockwise from the bottom left we have: - Black (blue?) white and red horizontal stripes; white green and red horizontal stripes; a white star and crescent on a red flag ; and a black (blue?) and yellow flag with inset a green white and red Horizontal striped flag. In the middle is a tin plate photo that has suffered badly from the production process. The visible image is just under an inch in diameter and shows a soldier's head in uniform. The card measures 3Œx4œ" and the illustration was also embossed during production.
