Around 600 workers, mostly women, died in munitions factory accidents in the First World War. This monument in Margravine Cemetery commemorates some of them, who died at Blake's factory in November 1918 #remembrance #localhistory #women'shistory #hammersmith #WW1 #firstworldwar

Did you know, during the #FirstWorldWar the British Army Veterinary Corps treated 2.5 million horses and returned 2 million to duty. An incredible proportion! 📷 IWM #Horsetry 🗃️

To water their horses while at the front, the British were equipped with long stretches of canvas which,by means of two rows of wooden stakes, could be quickly converted into troughs, rolled up when finished and moved to the next location. #WarHorseWednesday #FirstWorldWar 📷 Carnoy 1916.

Mules were far less susceptible to the mud borne diseases that plagued horses during the #FirstWorldWar. Here, mules pulls a sleigh carrying supplies over a muddy area. Somewhere on the Balkan Front, January, 1917. 📷 IWM Q 32722 #MuleMonday

Last day in London. It was so sunny and warm that I sat almost 2 hours in the Victoria Embankment Gardens and read. The memorial in the park is dedicated to the officers and men of the Imperial Camel Corps who lost their lives in Egypt, Sinai and Palestine during 1916-1917-1918. #FirstWorldWar

Transport drivers in the #FirstWorldWar often put their horses needs and safety before their own, forming strong bonds between man and beast. Here a driver weeps for his three animals killed in a shell blast, somewhere on the Western Front. #WarHorseWednesday 📷 Animal Heroes of the Great War, 1925

Coming soon to an expensive bookshop near you! My book has a full cover and it is starting to feel real - the (more affordable) paperback should follow within eighteen months. If there is enough demand, though, maybe this might come earlier? #FirstWorldWar #Morale #MilitaryHistory

The women who served as munitions workers during the #FirstWorldWar endured dismal conditions and a plethora of dangers: illness, injury, and death. Why are they barely remembered? 🔓 Patricia Fara’s new Great Debates is free for 7 days www.historytoday.com/arch….
