"We are the publishers here in the UK of a small military
history magazine. In the course of my research I came across your fascinating
archive images on Flickr - showing Fromelles from a German
perspective in 1916. (The attack was on 19 July 1916).
 In the next issue we would like to run a
small news feature on the recent discovery of a mass grave
of British and Australian soldiers at Fromelles in France. "

and in a later mail:


" Have done a quick bit of research and the three frontline shots fit 
together (almost) to illustrate a stretch of the frontline in front of 
the towns of villages of Aubers and Fromelles about 5kms north-east of 
the town of Neuve Chapelle.
 
Definately target identification photos - note that they have 
pre-planned target numbers marked on them. If the number is passed to 
artillery then they will already have the elevation, range etc worked 
out and listed.
 
The images were almost certainly taken from a fixed Drachen observation 
balloon - hence the reason that Frontline 1 is at a more oblique angle.
 
Hope they are of interest,
 
Best wishes
