M&P15T Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Interesting note; The bride's father appears to have gotten out his medals from the Great War to give his daughter away. Europe destroyed itself from 1914-1918, and then barely over 20 years later started the entire thing all over again, including starting with the Von Schlieffen plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
