Reinhard,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span></span>Â </div>
<div style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span>you asked in regard
to the author using the Anglo-Saxon way "A.M /P.M" to describe the time at
A.D. 1917:</span></div><div class="im">
<div><span><font face="Courier New"><font color="#008080"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Might the
writer have been from Heligoland (</span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Helgoland, Luun</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">) by any chance? As no doubt you
know, the island was under British rule for a while.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></font></font></span></div>
</div><div style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span>An interesting idea
- but he hadn't visited Heligoland throughout </span><span>all his life. And he
hadn't been soldier or sailor. Â As far as I'm possible to locate him and
his background I just know that he was born in Upper Saxonia
and spent his (later) live somewhere between Berlin and
Dresden. There he wrote down his impressions about WW I, being "just"
an ordinary civilian (he was a so called "white age-group", born AD 1867, so he
hadn't to serve as a soldier).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span></span>Â </div>
<div style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span></span> <span>Good idea, anyway!
Thanks!</span></div>
