Title
Best Regards to "Wilhelm" from 90th Division
Creator
Hoffman, Peter B.
Description
A sort of stone statue that looks closely like some sort of tombstone has the words "Hell with Den Hohenzollern", which was a German royal, and the "best Regards to 'Wilhelm' from 90th Division" is relation to the last crown Prince of the German Empire and Kingdom of Prussia at the time of World War I, Wilhelm. The stone has writing at the bottom which is too difficult to distinguish from either the natural elements or destruction from World War I. The stone is inside of a metal fence that has arrow points at the top of each post. There is an opening in the middle front. Behind the stone is a hill and at the top there are two posts with a larger rounded rectangle at the top of the posts. The photograph mentions it is in Sassey, France.
