Hello Krullies,Thank you so much for your posts.I did not mean to say the girl was in mourning but rather observe that a large stack of mostly Bavarian funeral announcements I came across all seemed to have many flowers on the soldiers photos.I was not sure if this was a Bavarian practice or a German tradition.A very Interesting post you made describes special flowers for soldiers from a particular region.This makes perfect sense.If there was a regiment from my area today their emblem would would have been the Crayfish!Thank you for the beautiful pictures of the postcards and comments.Geoff.
