Russian Nieuport IV on the Eastern Front. The Imperial Russian Air Service was the largest user of this type, originally developed in France, and soem 300 were buil in Russia by Russo-Baltic and Shschetinin in St. Petersburg and Dux in Moscow.

Fantastic photo of the main turret, with its twin 305mm guns, of the Imperial Russian battleship 'Andrei Pervozvanny'. The ship saw only very limited service during WW1 as part of the Russian Baltic Fleet. Her crew joined the general mutiny of the Baltic Fleet in early 1917.

Far from home: Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war wrestle for sport in a Russian POW Camp in Khabarovsk in the far east, June 1917. This was more than 7,000 kilometers from where these men were captured!

Fantastic photo of a group of German children studying the newest movements of the armies and the frontlines on a map of Europe, 1914.

A stitch in time saves Nein!

If you don't want to miss out, join up! And if you don't care about my constant yapping on about the Eastern Front, don't worry, there are plenty of other fantastic articles from all theatres of the First World War! 😉

Ever heard of the "Island or Death" on Dvina River and the bloody battles that took place there from 1915-17? No? Well, if you are a member of the @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social and get the Salient Points magazine, you will soon, as that is what my article in the newest volumen is about 😊👍

Even this kind of joy can make me dance I public 😂

Big moment! 😊 First time seeing @alexchurchill.bsky.social and I's book "Ring of Fire" in a bookstore in Denmark!!! So if your i Copenhagen, you can get it at @politiken.dk boghal!

Can't wait to give this talk. And while it's a topic I've talked about before, I've really tried to make it as unique as possible for the occasion, so don't miss out! AND don't miss out on the MANY MANY other great talks by incredible speakers!

Our @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social conference is a month away! So many talks and seminars to choose from.
@pikegrey1418.bsky.social will be giving an exclusive talk about the Battle of Galicia. This oft-ignored scrap in 1914 consumed a million casualties along a 200 mile front in three weeks!

Amazing! Thank you so much for the great review! 🙏

Massive thanks to everyone at the National WWI museum & of course our host @bartparish.bsky.social

Saw an excellent talk by @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @pikegrey1418.bsky.social there last night. Their new book Ring of Fire is worth a long look.
