An email friend in the UK has just asked if I can identify the registration scheme shown in the attached image. I can't so I am asking if any member can? The information supplied - the motorcycle is a Royal Enfield supplied to the Russians either during or just after WW1.? Regards ... Rod

This is probably the most original surviving British WW1 lorry. It was given to the museum in approx 1960. ? All the museum did was slap some red paint on it. However, they missed a few bits. The...

I ggot a binder containig 24 B&w and color drawings. Limited edition. Here are some of them. French, British, German soldiers and officers, infantry or airmen.
Didn't know that the army used this things in the war. Two photo's of Royal Engineers using the thing. Was it part of the army (engineers) or did they "loaned" it in civilian? DJ ?
Now that you have helped me sort out the heavy tanks used by American troops in WWI, I have a question about French tanks.Americans were supported by French troops operating heavy French tanks, the?Schneider tank and the Saint-Chamond tanks.What battles saw French heavy tanks and American troops...
Is there any kit of a 1/72 bicycle? I know that Preiser and Airfix (in one of their figure sets) have 00 scale bikes, but I wonder if there is any on true 1/72 scale. If not, is there any drawings for period bicycles that are pertinent to any warring country? Perhaps all bicycles were more or less the same? W...
Now that a kit of the 76 mm regimental gun M1927 is available in 1/72 scale, I am looking for conversion possibilities. I understand the gun is based on the earlier Schneider 76mm mountain gun M1909, which is identical or very similar to the 75 mm Schneider-Danglis 06/09. What needs to be done to conver...
Not really artillery..... I was asked if there was any contemporary documentation on the Hotchkiss 3 Pounder gun. Had a look and couldn't seem to find any. This is a bit surprising since there were lots of these guns made and they were used in the late 19th century Navies as anti-torpedo boat guns, in co...
Didn't see this mentioned here so far so I thought I'd post a link to the upcoming Early War Miniatures range of metal 20mm figures: British troops in 1908 pattern webbing and puttees. Early War Miniatures cater for the early WW2 crowd but this could be useful to WW1 modellers, too. How common was this g...
Hello Gentlemen... I was asking mysel,f which tractor/prime mover was used to tow the 155 mm GPF, while on service withe the US Army on the western front, ca. 1918 ? Thanks, Chris.
Has anyone seen either of the above, and able to recommend them? Not able to see via the search function if this has been discussed before. Especially interested as to the quality of the British heads with the Wolseley helmets
Came across this depiction of what is described as James Cowen and James Sweetlong's 1855 Crimean steam chariot thing. No details of origin of drawing. Apparent quote from patent: "This invention consists of an improved locomotive battery to be used in the field of battle, and is so construct...

The crew of an 8.8cm K-Flak (K stands for Kraftwagen) battery pose beside their tractor and gun. I asked Dr. Hannes T?ger to give me his expert opinion on this photograph. Alfred Krupp could not have provided a more detailed response. One cannot see a lot of the features of the lorry but I am convinced th...
Second (and last) tank vs tank battle of the Great War, Niergnies/Seranvillers is much less known than Villers-Bretonneux, which many people think of as the only battle between tanks in WW1. I'm looking for articles and books which describe Niergnies/Seranvillers. What I already have is two book...
I just completed CT Ertz's Laffly Landship (available for download at Landships II) and thought I'd share a few photos. I did a minor repaint using Photoshop. No assembly problems to report. on my file, which I got from another source, 1 of the doors had to be flipped horizontally (hinges on wrong side...
Hi All, Whilst looking for references to lewis guns at the NYT site I came across this article in which Colonel lewis states that to date 70,000 lewis guns have been supplied to England, France, Belgium,Italy and Russia(23/12/17) by itself this doesnt mean very much except of course its from Lewis hi...
