I stumbled across this pic of a Hedi. Is it new (I know that's ridiculous because it was taken about a hundred years ago, but you know what I mean)? Hedi on Alamy
? Trying to unscramble the Krupp 10cm (105mm) export guns. Krupp designed a 107mm M08 gun for the Russian Army, similar to the 10cm M05 gun sold to Turkey - anyone know how many guns were delivered to Russia? The Russians also ordered 120 107mm guns from the Japanese in 1914 - these were based on the 10cm T...
Greetings all. Could anybody please identify what the 'T' bar did on the N.S.L. on the top of the tank body? [Looking forwards from the turret]. Also the apparent circular indentation on the opposite side. My only conclusion is the 'T' bar could be for hanging the tow-rope on. Many thanks in advanc...
This picture and caption was published apparently late in the summer of 1918, after the second Battle of the Marne. The article as shown is contained in a National Archives file titled [Report on Captured German A7V Tank, "Nixen"]. It should be Nixe II, of course, more to come on that topic. Other c...
I think this train has featured in a lot of pics, but it's the first time I've seen this rather nice shot of it. Interesting that "armored" is spelt the American way.

The attached undated report was apparently written up in the summer 1920. The report as shown is contained in a National Archives file titled [Report on Captured German A7V Tank, "Nixen"]. It should be Nixe II, of course. The Ordnance Department had requested in early 1920 that the following tan...
It might be a beginner's question, but can you i.d. this Mk II allocated to the Canadians at Vimy? Number on side is 79-something, maybe 791/793/794/795. All information v welcome. Sorry to trouble you. I have tried.
New cardmodel from Wayne McCullough on Landships II - a 1:48 sFH 13. Model can be made as kurz or lang versions and there are 3 different camouflage schemes available. Regards, Charlie
I was sent some interesting information in regards to the Italian Pavesi Tank design of 1916. The correct name as it seems is the Pavesi Autocarro Tagliafili. Its intended use was basically a wire cutter not a tank as such. It’s design dates back to 1915, and the prototype was built in 1916 by Pavesi a...
Greetings everyone, One of my latest areas of interest is a number of topics concerning German chemical warfare projects near the end of the war. I'm fascinated by obscure topics such as these. Also, sorry if this is wrong forum section for this, miscellaneous seemed as good a place as any. ...

This is a photograph of the Mk IV (Female) "Britannia" British tank at Camp Dix. It was brought to Camp Dix in February, 1918 to familiarize American Soldiers with this new fighting machine, which most had never seen. The French, British, and Scottish soldiers, sitting on the rear deck of the tank, we...

Hello, does anyone know what scheme and colours the above two A7V were painted in? I have seen a few illustrations and models online where 501 Gretchen is depicted in green with the lower part near the suspension in orange/amber, whereas 528 Hagen is depicted in cream, yellow and orange colours. I att...

Hey folks - I came across this pic of a Stridsvagn M21 armed with a 37mm SA18 on eBay, and can't think that it's ever been posted before. I've read that some M21s were armed this way, but have never seen photographic evidence. It appears to be the entire, original mount from an FT.
Slightly odd. Caption reads: The new Allied weapons, an English land dreadnought on German positions. Illustration by Achille Beltrame for La Domenica Del Corriere, 8–15 October 1916. No such thing, obviously. But a curious resemblance to the Automatic Machine Company's Alligator/Land Crui...
In the bad old days before Landships, those less informed than ourselves would often state that certain guns carried by the A7V Sturmpanzerwagen went under the name of "Sokol," supposedly a Russian armaments manufacturer. The problem was that no such manufacturer could be shown to exist. The near...
Anyone old enough to remember Look and Learn, the educational magazine/comic/newspaper for children? It published from 1962 to 1982, when it ceased. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_and_Learn At some point it relaunched - or at least someone began using the title - as a picture library, li...
