You can read a little more about Private Hines in the online version of an exhibiton we did a few years ago called Fifty Australians. He became quite famous because of this photo, which was first published in late 1917.

Thanks, Liz from AWM. That's a good piece about Mr. Hines which you have linked.

This must have been very precious to him, it has been repaired instead of discarded when it ripped.

It's a sad thought that this was a trophy... a touching thought that he had it in his hand to the last...

This was probably a remembrance sent to the soldier by his wife, sweetheart or mother from back home. Such things magnify the atrocity of war.

Although a German bomber, this cannot be qualified as a 'giant' bombers produced in Germany during WW1. The picture shows an A.E.G. G.IV twin-engined bomber.

The AEG G.IV was numbered G 588/17 and is seen in Amiens, soon after it was brought down on May 16th 1918. See Windsock Datafile 51 for more photos of this particular aircraft. Other AEG G.IV
