Gentlemen: Hope your all well and had a fine "St Paddy's Day". The only day where beer is the same color as your vehicle!!
Having problem deciphering what language is printed on a WW1 grenade training poster. Your comments welcome and thanks. Robert ![]() |

The text appears to be Swedish.

Agreed on Swedish. It’s clearly a northern Germanic language going by things like the -sk ending (where western Germanic languages have -sh, -sch or just -s), the letters with umlauts, and the presence of <ĺ>. Since it uses <ö> rather than <ř>, it’s not Danish or Norwegian, which doesn’t leave that many other options.

Well I knew this would be the right place to find the answer. Big thanks to all who helped. My research came up with Danish, but I couldn't get to the point that Paul got to. But I figured Scandanavian at best. Shows you my computer skills!! I'll post a copy of the whole sheet once I get it back from the printers. Some unique samples that I've never seen before. I would say it dates WW1, based on the Mills grenade being a number 5.
Talk later this week....Robert ![]() |

Hi All: Well, got the original back from the printers. Here is the photo(s) of the remaining "grenades". Some I've never seen before, so I thought I'd share it.
Enjoy....Robert (and thanks for your help) ![]() |

The Surete du Quebec could have used that poster. Army EOD is long standing assistance task.

Well let alone, figure out the language, but now decipher the whole poster. You're a good man Paul. PM me your address and I'll send you a copy.
Many thanks again....Robert ![]() |

No need to send me a poster, but thank you for the offer. On my iPhone I simply copied the picture and then highlighted the text and used Google translate. It actually took less than ten minutes. I thought that other members would appreciate the translation.
