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?

However, did any Renault Ft's get transferred into the Tank corps? If any did get transferred which type of machine g...

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...

Don't know why, but I sometimes get brochures from the above company. Well hidden in the Military section of the latest one are: German Artillery 1864-1910 Flamethrower Troops of WWI This one is agonisingly expensive, I'm afraid.

I have purchased Mr. Doyles books before and if they are anything like his other works this should be a must have. I orded a c...
