(Ch. M. Geary, E-30-0,7 und E-30-0,8). - "Sch√ºlerinnen, strickend. Als im August 1914 auch in Kamerun der Krieg ausbrach, da mussten alle Europ√§er, Kaufleute, Farmer, Beamte und auch die unverheirateten Missionare zu den Waffen greifen. Mit grosser √úbermacht kamen die Feinde und besetzten zuerst die K√ºsten, so dass wir ganz von der Heimat abgeschlossen waren. Da fehlte es bei der Truppe bald am N√∂tigsten. Die Kleider der Soldaten litten sehr und konnten nicht ersetzt weren. Der deutsche Gouverneur liess im Juni 1915 an alle deutschen Frauen, die noch in der Kolonie waren die Bitte richten, f√ºr die diensttuenden Soldaten Socken zu stricken, 800 Paar. Diesen Gedanken haben meine grossen Schulm√§dchen freudig aufgenommen und in knapp 10 Wochen 125 Paar Socken an die Regierung abgeliefert. Das war ein fr√∂hliches Schaffen und ein frohes Zusammensein. Die K√∂nigsfrauen mussten uns die Baumwolle spinnen und ein Europ√§isches Spinnrad zwirnte surrend [unleserlich] 4 Fache zu einem starken, beinahe unzerreissbaren Faden. Wir haben mit unserer Arbeit viel Freude gemacht und manchen dankbaren Blick geerntet und hatten die Genugtuung, manchem Soldaten einen Dienst geleistet zu haben." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6). Note translation: "The war broke out in August 1914 in Cameroon too. Every European was expected to bear arms - traders, farmers, officials and unmarried missionaries. But the enemy had by far the greater power, and occupied the coast, so that we were quite cut off from the homeland. The troops were soon lacking the most basic things. Their clothes suffered and could not be replaced. In June 1915 the German Governor asked all German women who were still in the Colony to knit socks for the soldiers on duty - 800 pairs. My oldest schoolgirls took up this idea with great enthusiasm. In just 10 weeks they handed over 125 pairs of socks to the Government. That was a case where they worked happily! The King's wives had to provide us with the cotton thread, and a European spinning wheel hummed away spinning 4-ply (??) thread which was almost unbreakable. We gave other people a lot of joy through our work, earned many grateful glances, and had the satisfaction of doing many soldiers a good deed." (A. Wuhrmann, 1917, Commentary on the Slides from Bamum, E-30-0,6).
