#OTD 110 years ago, my great-grandfather wrote ✍️

"I told you about a photo I think, but it was not successful, so we started again yesterday, one with all the non-commissioned officers, but I don't know the result yet, let's hope its good"

This is that photo, 7.2.1916 📸

Back right when looking at the photo

#OTD in 1918, La Ville-aux-Bois. French troops manning a "bomb thrower". #WW1 #HISTORY

YouTube video by 315e RI First Days in the Trenches (WW1) | A Soldier’s Letters, October 1915

Ever wondered what the first days in the trenches were really like?

I made a 2-minute video about my great-grandfather’s first days at the front in October 1915, using quotes from his letters and original photos from 315e Regiment

I have just received your last letter, what a good moment for me when I read these lines which remind me of you Jeanne. The weather is bad today, rain is falling, last night I suffered a lot from toothache, but I don't during the day, just at night ...so its hard to sleep

Last video from a batch I made over Christmas

Life in the Trenches

See the trenches as you never seen them before, no AI just original photographs

Extract fronm "La vie dans les tranchées – Photographies inédites de la Grande Guerre", time code : 0'50

Very well-made video and photographs that clearly illustrate many aspects of the lives of the Poilus.
For this image, training or a real assault? Do you have a caption?

Merci- Real Sept 1917 - was a coup de main rather than a full offensive - 134e regiment

Currently YouTube is killing off all my longer videos (5mins+)… so if you can like a leave and comment on them - that will help promote the video and then it means I can make longer videos that don’t get suppressed by the algorithm

At some stage will make a longer version which covers all five

A man forgotten by History.

Son visage a traversé le temps. Son histoire s’est effacée avec le temps.

His story vanished. Not anymore, find out more about him below.
Below photo you will find in @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social The Facemaker book.

Here is this mans story: youtu.be/mdT82Qtx9EY?...

Could have made the video 10mins long, with all his injuries and rehab, but think in 2mins people will get his story!

315e RI I walk the western front ‘when I get the time’ taking photos & videos. Focused on the French army sectors, to keep alive the memory of the 315e RI Pictures here: https://alexandrelyons.picfair.com/al...

A cemetery can hide thousands of names and stories

Here are 6 Cemeteries and 6 Soldiers stories.

From the rank and file to generals. Same war, different lives, but all the same fate.

Staff work here in #Verdun (avec grignoter) in preparation for @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social’s spring getaway - there are about two seats left on the coach if anyone wants to join us for an intro to this battlefield…
