I'm sorry, that I'm starting my "career" on this forum with the "help request" type of topic, but I'm doing a favour to my old colleague. In the collection of photos gathered by my friend there is an unique group of photos, taken near Cambrai after the battle of 1917. Amongst the...
Hi, My name is Rafał, and I'm a "wanna-be" historian from Poland. My main interest and "area of research" is the old photography, especially WW1 era. I was searching through this forum many times before, but only now I've decided to register. I hope that I would be able to prov...

Some smaller bits of tree are propped against it, slopin...

Have purchased some Marklin "Old-Timer" trucks in 1:32 scale for conversions to WW1 LKWs and was wondering what color they should be painted. My original intention was to paint them medium gray, but saw an image of a WW1 Horsch that was painted medium to dark green. Any suggestions? Bo...
Hi,I am building a British artillery gun limber towing an 18pdr in 28mm produced by Wargames Foundry. Given the rough treatment towed guns seemed to undergo, from footage I have seen, I just wondered if the gun sight would have been removed during transit?

I tried to find out how the rollers, drive- and idler wheels look like, but wasn't able to find a comprehensive source.

As long as I was digging through my photos for the oldest APG St. Chamond photo I could find, I thought I'd try to do the same for the Schneider CA. This photo is from the Jarrett collection at MHI at Carlisle Barracks, and my guess is that it dates from the late 1940s or early 1950s. The tank still has some de...
