Sharing with you and sourced from a FB page and with permission. Two very young soldiers in the Kaisers Army. 1918. Look at the tunics. The right hand soldiers one is a good quality cloth. The left hand one wears a bluse of low quality wool with other “ersatz” fibre. Shoddy. More pic.twitter.com/vdgGILtkVo — Tim […]
John McCrae died at Wimereux #OTD in 1918. He wrote ‘In Flanders Fields’ near Ypres in 1915. “To you from failing hands we throw    The torch; be yours to hold it high.    If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.” pic.twitter.com/OGZYshG9vC — Paul Reed (@sommecourt) January 28, 2021 […]

Austro-Hungarian P.A.1 (aka Junovicz Armored Car) on patrol. This photo's possibly from the Italy Front, where an armored car platoon, the 'K.u.K. Panzerautozug No.1', served in 1918.

This Project
Charting the daily events of World War One, this history project aims to provide a bite-sized and engaging way to follow the events of 100 years ago. Using a variety of sources, I aim to refer to the main events of the war on the centenary of their occurrence. However, it's not just about the main events, I have also taken time to research lesser known events in order to help the reader to feel engaged with the scope of the war.
