"Active Service in the First World War" photo collection 1914-1918

Digitisation of glass plate negatives

The original documents are glass plate negatives and are archived in the fonds on national defence (“Landesverteidigung 1848–1950” - E27). The Federal Archives digitised this collection a few years ago, creating a high-definition digital version of each negative as well as a preview image.
