Kydonia, March of 1916 (Kydonia is the old name of the town of Chania in the island of Crete in the south of Greece). Unless it is another Kydonia in another part of Greece

Now, in the second picture the writings are in poet form which is not traslated so good in English, but I'll try my best.

First knife: My poor chest has become a library, and inside it has been printed lots of grief and sorrow

second knife: I was born in pain, I will die in suffering, and suffering will be writen on my tombstone

Hope that helps

Hi George,

Thats amazing thank you.
Why are the inscriptions so dark? I'm really suprised!
Thank you so much for your help.
Best Regards
