Well, maybe this tank?is well known, but it is a bit of mystery to me. I?ve found this shot on ebay. Recently I obtained another photo of the same vehicle, when I?ll get to scanner, I can post it as well. Photos were clearly taken in WWII, because there are WWII German soldiers around the tank on my picture...
As usual, apologies if this isn't new. Startled to see this pic on chars-fran?ais. WWIIGerman soldier (Luftwaffe?) in souvenir photo with cat and St. Chamond. I thought all vehicles were broken up, apart from the Aberdeen example. Anyone throw any light?
How do you get errors corrected on the Landships website?? I was just looking at the Mark IV walkaround and saw that Grit is captioned as 4543.? It's actually 4643.? Also Flirt II is captioned as 2179, which is what's painted on it today, but isn't its original number.? 2179 isn't even a Mark IV serial nu...
Dear all, my knowledge about French Renault FT-17 is still low, but maybe someone can help me to make it brighter. I know that the French Renault FT-17 in its various versions was used by several armies during World War 1 and more after the war and also a long time. As far as I know: France USA Spain Poland E...
Missing Lynx has a thread showing a WW1 tank in Berlin 1945. The photo is extremely dark and difficult to make out. I enclose a copy that I've applied some image enhancement on. It appears to be a female Mk V that has been very comprehensively totalled, presumably by a Soviet tank or AT gun. The las...

I don't know if this should be in "References" or "Modelling". But here it is. Please correct any errors in this statement: When Americans fought in WW1 they were segregated; the whites fought together, and the blacks (those that fought, and were not stevedores or other labou...

Hi I'm in the market for a few WW1 rifles and wondered whether any forum users could point me in the direction of (respectable) dealers or individuals with any for sale? All advice gratefully received. Thanks
PDA is too modest to bring this to your attention, but he and I have put together an article on Romanian uniforms. Very entertaining research and some surprising (to me) information. Please feel free to amend, add, correct, disagree, suggest, improve,etc. No offence will be taken. This isn't Wikip...
This is a very long audio recording of the reminiscences of Eric Potten. Eric featured briefly in the TV documentary Tanks: Wonder Weapons of World War One? This is a far longer version of his service, with lots of stuff about the Tanks. You have to hunt for the relevant bits because the total length is o...
It looks like there was some interchange of tanks between the French and British in late 1918 ready for 1919. I know that British MkV's and V*'s were transferred to the French tank corp. However, did any Renault Ft's get transferred into the Tank corps? If any did get transferred which type of machine g...
Does anyone anything about German Congreve type war rockets like the one pictured on page 14 of Osprey's armies of east Africa 1914-18? My only other source of information is "The first golden age of rocketry" by Frank H Winter. This book does discuss the german rocket establishment of th...

On this anniversary of Armistice Day, here is a remembrance webpage with great photos of Wesetrn Front battlefields - http://www.westernfrontphotography.com/main.php Regards, Marc
Mildly interesting subject arose recently, concerning the origins of the terms, "Western Front" and "Central Powers." I assume that Westfront was used from an early stage in Germany so as to distinguish it from the Ostfront. It seems the first known use of the expression in B...

I bought some more WW1 DVDs yesterday and was quite excited to find this model of a Mk1 male, on a short sequence of old original film. It's being rotated on a platten for the camera. Thinking the model must surely have been made by Fosters at the factory. It looks like a real beauty and it seems to have a?co...
