WWI Presentation

[Aragorn243]

My WWI presentation is today. I was actually ready for it early this year. Got everything boxed and stacked downstairs by Thursday afternoon. Yesterday just rounded up a few more things I found in exploring the house (yes it's that bad) and made up some identification slips and little flags to put with each nations stuff. Last thing I found was a full sized German Imperial flag which I forgot I had. My wife managed to get the church set up after an event last night so I don't even have to do that.

I have help lined up to move it to the truck and to the church and back again.

Not looking forward to putting it away.

Can anyone explain how I removed 15 rifles from my one safe, put all the rest back and can't shut the door? So yes, I have to figure that out all over again. I believe I'm taking the bolts out this time.

Hopefully I'll remember to take photos of the tables etc.

I have 4 German rifles although one is Turkish, 3 British (one is a later Indian that has a WWI grenade launcher mounted on it), 2 US, 4 French, 3 Japanese, 1 Russian, 1 Belgian, 1 Swiss, 2 Austro-Hungarian, 3 Italian and 1 Portuguese.

I also have four handguns, 2 German, 1 French and 1 Russian although post WWI production on the Russian.

Pretty near complete US soldier set up, not going to try to set the tent up.

Did discover I'm really weak on WWI helmets. Only have 2 but will take a later Adrian helmet to show as an example.

So if you're local and want to stop in, Hope UMC in Akron (Ephrata) PA. Starts at 6:00.
