WWI in Photos

[AWP]

I looked but didn't see a duplicate. This is rather extaordinary...and large. Some of the views of the desolation along the Western Front are mind blowing. The series has a little of everything though: planes, the Western Front, war at sea, Gallipoli, Palestine, China, Russia, etc.

That is an awesome find. Great photos!

We had a thread here recently that I and others had been posting WWI photos, I can't find it now either...

Yeah, I think the staff was bit overzealous in its latest purge.

Love the first pic in the Tech section. I'm sure that too was advertised as "man portable"...light weight gear.

Why do they talk like that? I don't understand the words coming out of their mouths.

#3. The New Zealand Soldiers in front of the Sphinx and Pyramids. So far, my personal favorite.
