From time to time we stop to examine one of the unquestioned "facts" about our favourite invention. One which is automatically included in accounts of the Tank's development is that the predecessor of Little Willie was called "No. 1 Lincoln Machine." But was it? By whom was it...
There is a gun outside the courthouse at Modesto, Calif - this was identified as an FK 96 n.A but is a 75mm Krupp export gun possibly an M1910. There are similar guns in Australia captured from the Ottoman forces in Palestine - I thought it may have been one of these which had got to the US. I obtained some sh...
I recently got the Osprey book "U-Boats: 1914-1945" and noted that it depicted German naval uniforms as nearly identical throughout the era. ?I always wanted to depict the rebelling sailors of 1918, but deemed it just a pipe dream until I saw the book-and I have Dragon 1/35 figures of Diep...

Through my reads I understood that: 1914 : shells are mostly of schrapnel type 1915 : extensive use of HE shells from end 1917 : to avoid cratering of the landscape (and to permit the use of tanks) new typ...

"Nicknamed 'the Belgian rattlesnake' by German forces who came up against the weapon in 1914," Does anyone have any details on how many, what units, etc. about the Lewis gun in Belgian service in 1914? Chris
Please see attached image. ?This gun is an enigma. I suspect it may be the only survivor. Nothing like it on passioncompassion. Bore is 10cm approx (could be 10.5). Barrel is 3.65m (=35 calibre?). No recoil system. WW1 land carriage. No visible inscriptions on breech or barrel (might be rusted over?...
I've never seen before this photo of a Mk. ? tank. Of interest is the view of the rear light, which I've read as mentioned but I've never actually seen on a picture.

By chance I was channel hopping this early afternoon and, on MoviesforMen, noticed a film about the Great War, watching it whilst I type this. ?Lots of colourised footage, clips of horse drawn artillery, Renault lorries as far as the eye can see hauling 75's, railway artillery etc etc. ?No sign of tan...
