Two soldiers seated inside a trench, one is holding a newspaper and appearing to read it.
In February 1918, William Rider-Rider photographed Canadian soldiers with copies of the Canadian Daily Record, a newspaper issued by the Canadian War Records Office to personnel during the war.

#1GM Le camarade de tranchée Olivier mitonne de petites fiches sur les témoignages qu'il lit ou relit à cet effet. Il ne pose pas de jugement mais propose des éléments de contexte, des précisions sur la toponymie, les personnes citées, etc.
A découvrir !

Black & white photo of Ronald Colman (upper torso and head) with word paneling behind him. He is wearing a coat with a white ascot. Looks late 17th or early 18th century clothes. Probably a scene from a Tale of Two Cities.

“FBI concluded Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men”
Bondi and Patel should both resign. Today. What a fucking disgrace.

My trip to Kosovo has really rattled me. History from 100 years ago I can handle. History from 27 years ago feels very raw, very present. The people you meet may have committed, or suffered, appalling acts of violence, and most people over 30 will have been refugees, forced to flee for their lives.

Page from history book with QR code linking to additional maps, photos and videos.
Non-fiction publishers seem stuck in the 1960s, content with a map at the front and an underwhelming plate section in the middle. The world has changed, people want more, and better. This is my solution (which may or may not catch on)…

Somehow, I find these a lot more interesting than Netflix series number so much.
Just answering an enquiry and it reminded me that it could be answered by a talk I gave a few years ago. You might like to see/hear it. #ww1 #genealogy #ireland

Two men stand towards the middle of the frame and are surrounded by junk and scraps of what appears to be a destroyed building or fortification. The man on the left is trying on a hat while he looks face to face with the man on the right. Behind the men are countless objects scattered everywhere, including a phonograph and a basket.
This beautiful print - from the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada collection - turns 108 this month.
William Rider-Rider, Canadian buying a hat at a second-hand store near Lens, February 1918, Seaforth Highlanders of Canada Museum & Archives 2018.413.2504.

Will our U.S. members be watching the "big game" today? Americans also enjoyed their version of football in the First World War to keep soldiers fit & occupied. Pictured is the victorious 89th Division team that beat the 4th Division 14--0 while in the Army of the Occupation in the Rhineland.
