Web site use:
If you run a non-commercial website (sites with affiliate programs are okay), you do
not need to inquire for use of a few photos for your site as long as you provide a link to
this website below each picture and the following credit line, "Photo courtesy of the
Lt. Col. O. H. Davidsmeyer collection." Copy the images to your site, do not link
directly to photos. I would appreciate it if you email me and provide the web site where
the photos are used so that I can visit it and perhaps provide a reciprocal link to your
site.
Please do not copy large numbers of these photos to your web site, instead link to the
appropriate pages on this web site (you can frame the pages within your site if you like).
All commerical rights to copyrighted photos and the text within this site are reserved.
Student use:
For student reports not intended for publication, you may freely use the photos and
please provide the following credit line: Photo(s) courtesy of the Lt. Col. O. H.

Students, if you have an electronic version of your report, please email it to me,
because I love to see how my grandfather's legacy continues on.
