    About 10-15 years ago I bought this photo album, it has a bunch of photos from WWI.
    French, Belgian, Bulgarian and Swiss soldiers are in the pictures. There are pictures of Turkish prisoners and explosions going off. I was hoping someone could help me ID the machine guns in the picture, I think there are 2 different types. If there is someone that can translate the writing, that would be cool too. Thanks!

    The small photos are of Belgian officers, but the main one, the postcard addressed to a lady in Grenoble, seems to be French. The writer says that there are quite a few (men) from Isère. Isère is the French department in which Grenoble is one of the main cities.
    The rest is difficult to read, his handwriting is as bad as mine.:playful:

    Thanks everyone. I believe the lady that the postcard is addressed to is the owner of the album. It appears she was friends with some of the soldiers and corresponded with them.
