28th of June 1914 the event that triggered WW1

On this day one hundred years ago the double assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie, shot by the nineteen-year-old Gavrilo Princip on in Sarajevo's Franz Josef Strasse. This event has gone down in history as the incident that triggered the First World War.

 

Below, I believe is a photo of M Max Fechenbach, Hermann’s father, in uniform. Hermann, his father, his brother Siegfried and cousin Julius all fought in World War One.
