Captain_Thunder Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Very interesting pictures. #29 seems to have a burning tank hulk in the background too. It appears to be a French Char Saint-Chamond mounting a 3pdr low in the front center of the hull.My wife's grandfather, deceased, served in WW1 and was a member of the American Legion organization for veterans after the war. The American Legion issued a photo album as a memorial with similar photos in a over-sized hard cover binding, approximately 18"-24" tall and about 12" wide containing hundreds of photos taken during the war. No one wanted the book after her grandmother passed and the house was being cleaned out and they offered it to me. It's got many photos that most people don't usually see in regards to WW1. If I can remember where I put it, I'll have to dig it out and go through it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete with trenches with special effects and a various WW1 tanks.You can even inspect the inside of one.The WW1 area is one of my favourite parts of the museum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'd like to know more about the other theaters of operations the Western Front and NW Europe get the lion's share of press coverage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Enlightening photos Marko. A different world back then. Hard to believe us humans made it this far in history on the planet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Enlightening photos Marko. A different world back then. Hard to believe us humans made it this far in history on the planet.Indeed it is What's even more surprising is the world went to war again less then thirty years later. And IMO, would have again had it not been for nukes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Found this on another thread.Check out pics 33/34. http://www.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/wwi/introduction/ Extract from caption to Pic 33: Many of the earlier models broke down frequently, or got bogged down in mud, fell into trenches, or, (slow-moving) were directly targeted by artillery. This will sound only too familiar to members of UKA - especially when using the CR2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithcorp Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 These have been updated with a set relating to technology in the Great War here: http://www.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/wwi/wwitech/More amazing photos, but also a couple of gruesome ones, including, sadly, a dead Brit tank crew in their brewed up tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
