For those of us living in this 'green and pleasant land' This booklet is available for 99p. It has 200ish firsthand accounts by Tommies. Most accounts have no date though.
I've acquired a DVD of the restoration of the FK96 n.A at Corinda, Brisbane. This is sold as a fund-raiser for the Sherwood/Indooroopilly RSL. I have permission to on-sell the DVD to anyone interested. So If anyone's interested respond here so I can judge whether it's worth setting up the sale proces...
If you're in the UK or can receive BBC1 somehow, the edition of the Albert Kahn series featuring the French Army will be repeated after midnight tonight. That is to say 00:25 GMT, Friday March 21. Sorry about the short notice.
Hi everyone. I've been scratching my head for a couple of weeks and I've run out of places to look so could you help me? I remember seeing a piece of box of figures of a couple of Luftwaffe officers and females dancing in a field with a portable record player. I've searched everywhere I can and gone through...
Here is a picture from old russian book. British invasion in Reval (Estland) 1919. What is it? Crossley? Peerless? Wroten: 1919. I think it is later, as 1919 and no Reval, or? I have no see photos if this car in others books from Civil war in Russia.
Hi all, may be already a known picture to most of you..the caption mentions that this is a New Zealanders mortar squad. Oh and the New Zealanders are praised: their financial benefit to the war is mentioned, in Dutch guilders..Fl.45.432.440 were funded and 463.048.600 was the benefit to the war cost...

"THE BATTLE OF CAMBRAI, 1917" After the prolonged fighting on the Ypres salient in the fall of 1917, 3rd Armies Gen. Julian Byng would champion a visionary plan outlined by Tank Corps officer Col. JFC Fuller.???? The Battle of Cambrai, launched on November 20 1917, heralded the first tim...
I was recently asked by one of the restorers what the likely colour scheme was for a 7.7cm Feldkanone 96 n.A. They attempted unsuccessfully to find out where this gun was deployed. This gun was captured in 1918 on the Western Front, possibly by Australian troops. The gun (serial #2715) was a reworked 9...
Here's one for you all. Have you ever had a model years ago that now you's like to do in a bigger scale? I want to. So what my question is how can I do the Airfix 1/72nd WW1 Royal Horse Artillery in 1/35th? I really don't want to spoil my idea by going into great depth as I'd like to show it when complete... Any th...
I thought it would be a good idea to have material on German Naval Forces during WW1.? For one thing, part of them did serve on land (as coastal artillery etc.).? Also, German naval personnel revolted at the end of WW1 and would make up many of the people in the civil wars of Germany who fought on the Commun...

Wheres the best place to find organization of German Artillery in 1914? How many guns would have been in a Field Artillery Battery? a Foot Artillery Battery? What's the difference?? Would these all be supplied with standard field guns? Where do Howitzers and specialized artillery come in? Thanks f...
I was visiting a friends "collection" last Saturday and for a change the camera came along for the ride. Thought the enclosed images would be of interest to the group and if so I have a few more of the drive train and rear workings that I will post later. Regards....Rod -- Edited by BSM on Frida...

I just added the rivet details and it was really easy. I am building the Airfix Mk 1 and converting it to a Mk2 supply tank. I applied the rivets and they look really good. Unfortunately I don't have any way to post pictures yet but when I do I will post them. The carrier film is tough enough to work with but it...
I'd be delighted to hear from anyone able to identify this tank for me?? Perhaps a forum member from eastern Europe can help?? The tank is a Mark V in service with the White Russian army during the Russian Civil War, with one British soldier in evidence.? Other than that I have no information. Thanks in a...

I attach a photo of a Hotchkiss being operated by (or posed with) a French soldier. It has no cooling fins at all. Is this unusal,a special model or what? Answers please.
BTW from the context where I found it the 'Frenchman' may actually be an American volunteer transfered from the fore...
Hi everybody, I've been reading that the brand new M1916 helmet was used in combat for the first time in the battle of the Somme. At the beginning of that battle, about 300.000 units of this helmet had been produced. Anybody knows if every german soldier was already wearing this helmet from the beginni...
Well I have finally put the knife to plastic and I have begun a Mk2 supply tank using the Airfix kit. Does any one know if the Mk 2 would have used the same type of stowage racks and box as the Mk1 did? I have changed the cab depth and added a strip of plastic on the roof.
A while ago we puzzled over the origin of the strange camo scheme on a Mk V. It appears in a book, as shown in Pic 1, and somewhere on the Forum there is a pic of the Bovington Mk V apparently in the same colours. Pic 2 is from L&F Funcken Volume 1 - published in 1970. It's captioned "Mark V Male 1918&q...
?Hello everybody , have just finished a (1/5 appox) model of an 18 pdr gun to sit on the patio?. has anyone a close up picture of the armoured oil tank on the front? would like to make one to put on it. ?thanks
I've always been after a decent Ford model T for use as a British vehicle. I wasn't a fan of the RPM kit but i'm very pleased with the look of the Matador Models variety, which was designed by Scalelink. I'm partway through building it, but here's a quick photograph of the kit parts - obviously some parts n...
