Photo of dad (3rd row from front, 5th from right) holding trumpet/cornet. Does anybody know where this is? Can anybody translate the writing on the drum? I think it might be connected to either the Trade School or the seminary he was in before the war? Again, does anybody recognise anyone in the picture?
