Description: | David Schneider was the son of Polish immigrants; when he joined the army he was forced to change his surname to Taylor, because Schneider was a German name. He is on the left in this picture, and he and his friend Jack Rosenberg are wearing the uniform of the 6th London Infantry. David sent the photograph to his mother as a postcard from France, in October 1915, after 96 days' continuous service on the Front. The message on the back reads: 'Dear Mother, Here's a photo we had taken soon after we came out of the trenches after the attack. Am still going strong and am quite well....' He was killed in action two months later. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright | Subjects: | London at War | Temporal: | 1915 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
