Jürgen Schmieschek (German)

Schmieschek was a lifelong resident of Dresden. Since his first visit to Flanders in 1994, he had been fascinated by the Great War and in particular the experiences of his fellow Saxons. He had travelled the Western Front continuously and had amassed a collection which forms the basis of his book, co-authored with Andrew Lucas, "For King and Kaiser. Scenes From Saxony's War in Flanders, 1914-1918".
