This might be one for Michel or Fran?ois. There's a small note in P. Malmassari's book, that says: 12 mars (March) 1917: D?part du g?n?ral Mourret. D?part normally means "departure," but I gather it's a polite way of saying "death." Since he disappears from the story rather ab...
Dear All, ? I have questions regarding the Lt. Vietze and Blitz. Hopefully somebody can help. ? Regarding Lt. Vietze: 1. Was the first name of Lt. Vietze Paul? 2. As a civilian, was he a kind of engineer? Maybe a?chemical engineer? 3. It is said, he emigrated to the USA after 1918. Is that for sure or could...

Dear All, ? I just read in a German "Militaerpass" that the owner was trained at the "Grabenkanone". Does anyone know what type of artillery this is? Maybe the "Gruson Fahrpanzer"? ? Regards Chris
This might be the?answer to where the Western Front met the Swiss border. The village of Pfetterhouse was the nearest settlement - population in 1914 1,400 - but the road linking it to Switzerland, with the home-made barricade was actually behind French lines. I shall now explain where I reckon the a...
Just a couple of in-progress shots of my latest project (well, of one project) It's the Commanders Series kit, I'm building it as a late version with the relocated fuel cell's mounted externally at the rear. The kit is reasonably accurate against various plans I have, however it's a little rough in so...
Apparently there is a new WW1?movie coming on Christmas called?I believe War Horse. The preview shows a British Tank couldn't tell if it was Mk I or Mk IV. In the clip?the horse leaps it. Hope they make it authentic.
As reported earlier, I was somewhat taken aback to learn that Joseph Hawker "is generally considered to be the father of the tank." This information features on Wikipedia, of course, and the "citation" is no less than The Chard and Ilminster News.I expect to receive a copy of t...

I noticed in pictures of Berlin in December 1918, at the beginning of the civil wars in Germany, there is no snow on the ground and the people seem lightly dressed in trenchcoats and hats, without gloves or scarves.? Was winter so mild then?

An extremely kind silent film enthusiast has given me what looks like a very promising lead on the unidentified film here. He suggests it might be from Carry on Sergeant, not the British one but a 1928 Canadian film which was produced by no less than Bruce Bairnsfather. The generously-proportioned s...
Hello all..
I am a newcomer to the forum from Istanbul.
