This cannon was purchased during WW1 by France and likely Russia. The French bought them because they were more powerful than the 1916 Trench Gun for possible anti tank needs etc., during 1917 and perhaps 1918. Can any one supply an image of this gun in French service ? I can supply an image of this gun on...

Pages and pages of WW1 photos - in colour! I knew that there some people taking colour in WW1 and I've an Australian book with a few shots of No 1 Sqdn AFC in the Middle East 1918 taken by Kingsford Smith but these are Fren...
Carrying on with Henrik D's question:
As built, British tanks would have been issued with a 3 (then 4) digit War Department census number, so Flirt II would have started life as '2179'. After the end of WW1 the system changed and numbers had a T prefix, so Flirt II became T179. This was the numbe...
Hello,
I've recently bought Emhars Mk.IV female and were planning on building one of the two British tanks, however there is no historical information on the markings provided. Does anybody know what subjects the markings are supposed to represent?
Thanks in advance / Henrik

Hello Guys
This is a correction to the Cadillac article. Ben Man has brought this to my attention.
He was going to get a friend of his to take some pictures of the Cadillac Armoured Car, and he found this out.
{"Thank you for contacting the Museum of Science and Industr...
I don't know if this counts as army, navy or airforce. In 1917 the no 1 squadron Australian Flying Corps took the fuselage of a Martinsyde 101 'Elephant' long range fighter/bomber and mounted it on some fort of raft or float (a bit like those things used in the Florida Everglades I suspect) and used it to...
I have been meaning to get "Tanks and other Armored Fighting Vehicles 1900-1918" by B.T. White for a long time. However, every time I found it, it was very expensive. I recently aquired a comparitively cheap copy of it, and I am very impressed by it!
While by no means complete in the Tank section, it...
Hello Everyone
I have been study the Battle of Dorian, on the Salonika front. I am looking for photos from this battle, English, French, Bulgarian, and Greek. I would really like to get some information on The Greek army,equipment,uniforms etc.All information Greek or other wise on this f...
I buy every single WWI armor book I can find, because I know that there are at least a few pictures I have not seen before in every single one. I just got Peter Chamberlain & Chris Ellis's little book "British & German Tanks of World War 1". Heres some information I thought was cool.

The Christie Medium Tank M1919 was designed by J. Walter Christie with experience gained from construction of the Wheel-and-Track 8in Gun Motor Carriage in WWI. The M1919 became the first postwar tank to be built in America.

Howdy All,
My apologies for a potentially silly question, but...since I feel the available WWI kits in 1/35th scale are few and far between {when compared to 1/72nd}, I was eyeing the old Airfix 1/32nd scale duo-kit of the Dennis fire engine, and Omnibus at my LHS and was wondering how pos...
I do not see these tanks on the list. Correct me if I am mistaken.

I just learned about this, and it is very cool. As usual, I am sure a lot of you have already discovered this fantastic site, but I thought I would post this just in case some of you have not.
This is a "South Texas Border" collection of around 8,000 photographs, from around 1912-1920. Many M1917 pics...
The Robert Runyon collection is a real find. Thanks for passing it on.
There was another border photographer, W.D. Smithers, who was a fascinating character. He became a U.S. Army teamster on pack mule trains in 1915-1917, during the Mexican Revolution (Pershing, et. al.). He was already an ac...
I require the highest quality, largest, picture of the A7V Mephisto Devil emblem, and the Mephisto lettering itself.
If anyone has such a picture in their collection, Please send it to me, or post it here.

Hello, Tim,
Your offer of info on vehicles used by Pershing in 1916 is most welcome.
I just went to Pancho Villa State Park (!) at Columbus, New Mexico, and did a bit of photographing. Great fun!
One thing was disappointing: we went through the town of Marfa, in far west Texas, where Camp Ma...
Last night I pulled out my box of WWI figures and thought I'd have a go at tarting up one of the Emhar British soldiers (specifically the one throwing the Mills bomb).
Granted, these figures are not as precisely detailed as Scale Link or even the new ICM set (which I've yet to get) but by replacing thing...
Hi all!
After waiting in vain (and grumbling) for someone to make WW1 Military Decals, me and a friend have instead finally made our own. So now there is a Line of Landships 1/72-76 Scale WW1 Military Decals. They are intended for the Airfix and Il Principe Nero Mk I, the EMHAR Mk IV, the EMHAR FK 96 n/a &...
Hello, There are some curious screws on a cradle of some ww1 guns (see attachment). I am interested in their function. I found these screws on austrian mortars only (305m M11, M16 and 420mm M17). There have been some differences in of their number (see pictures of 305mm mortar M11). It was a spec...

I am certainly no expert on softskins, and this one really got me stumped.
