Haunting Photos Bring The Great War Back To Life
The anniversary of Vimy Ridge, 97 years ago! April 09 to April 12. Sacrifice and Honour for our Country! We collect the tools used by troops in fascination and in rememberance. I hope that when we make a little profit from a sale that we remember those that have given everything and where this stuff came from. I think we are honouring the fallen by maintaining a healthy passion for preserving and educating others as they ask the miriad of questions pertaining the great wars and ongoing conflicts.
Cheers and thank-you Veterans
Jerry
Well stated.

I fear not enough as I see dark clouds on the horizon. Perhaps some will be sufficently cognizant of history to enable us not to repeat it. Hope springs eternal.Quote:

I find that generally older = wiser.
Nor should we ever forget them that - "Gave it all so we could have it all"
They are the simplistic type of overlay-ed images that bring locations back to their former Glory and the hell that surrounded them..................as an ex soldier, I suppose I am allowed to say "What did that war really achieve, except suppressing the German nation, which didn't work either, because we did it all over again in WW2 and beyond and still doing it. Investing more in warfare then in feeding human beings"
Off my soapbox..........now what military rifle do I want to get next??
Reading these comments has prompted me to upload some pages from a book produced in 1934 with images of WWI. Not always what we might expect.
Sadly, when you look at that skeleton, which must have been unreachable in some area of no mans land, the only winner was the oversized over gorged Rat population
Great pics!!!! Thanks a bunch.
A man once told me, that in order to become, "old and wise", one must first be, "young and dumb".Quote:
