  We have been enjoying the photographs in the museum's flickr photostream. Thanks!
  
  However, we would like to offer a constructive remark.
  
  We are somewhat surprised at the "normal" utilisation of the slang word "boche" in some of the captions (as in this case and also here ). During the war, the german soldiers were called "boches" in an undeniably derogatory manner by the french. We feel that if this term is to be used in captions it should be explained or at least appear in quotation marks. If it is, as it seems to be here, the case of a text written by a french soldier then the whole caption should be in quotation marks.

  At what price, though? Remember who they turned to after?
