One of the beauties of this new place is that I can share things from years ago again - this is probably the most popular tweet I’ve ever sent: a lockdown project that got out of hand. It now lives at the front of my classroom, students love it! #history #fww #ww1 #tanks #trenches #landship #mkv

#OTD in 1917, the 1er Zouaves assaults Mont Cornillet in Champagne. Pictured here are Zouaves assigned as brancardiers in the minutes prior to going over the top. The 1e RMZ's losses would be horrible over the next five days, losing 1,200 officers and men. #WW1 #FWW

Pleased with this work. In 116 days covered by my analysis, 640 Ambulance Train loads took casualties from Third Battle of Ypres to the Base Hospitals. This equates to a total of somewhere in the region of 256000-384000 casualties. #WW1 #FWW #history #Ypres www.longlongtrail.co.uk/e….

Ambulance Train evacuation of casualties from the Third Battle of Ypres - The Long, Long Trail

This article is a summary of the activity of the evacuation by Ambulance Train of wounded, sick and injured casualties from the Ypres sector in the period 24 July to 17 November 1917. Valuable for any...

Today in 1914 Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia and thus begins the inevitable fall of dominoes into WW1. Along with millions of soldiers and civilians, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire itself will not survive the Great War. #WW1 #FWW #GreatWar
Upper Left: Austrian Imperial Standard used in 1914.  (Interestingly, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire had no official flag. There you see many variations.)  This one is gold yellow background with red, yellow, and black triangular border.  In the middle is the double headed imperial eagle with the flags of the various states of the empire. Around the eagles are small crowns.

Upper Right: The old Imperial Palace with the main entrance and large cupola with two smaller cupolas flanking it.  Overcast sky above.  Fountain with statue in the foreground. Green bushes surround the fountain, as well as blowing flowers low to the ground.

Bottom Left: Idyllic scene of the Austrian mountains near Salzburg.  Blue sky with wispy white clouds above.  Then a row of jagged and rocky mountain peaks.  Down the mountain you see the green of forests. And then below you see an alpine meadow dotted with trees and some houses.

Bottom Right: Emperor Franz Joseph in light blue uniform adorned with medals across his chest. Gray background. He has his impressive full white imperial beard.

In 1914, a week after declaring war on Serbia, Austria Hungary takes the fateful step to declare war on Russia. No going back now. Full mobilization starts on both sides and the declarations will start snowballing after this. Welcome to armageddon. Let the carnage begin. #WW1 #FWW #GreatWar

Did you know that the Baron von Trapp was the most successful Austro-Hungarian submarine commander of #WW1, sinking 13 ships? (Poster, 1917, artist unknown, Imperial War Museum) #TheSoundOfMusic #FWW #FWWHist

Today in 1914, since the Schlieffen Plan says you get to France through Belgium, Germany declares war on Belgium to pave the way for the invasion (and no doubt quick capitulation) of France. Everything according to plan! Nach Paris! Durch Belgien! #WW1 #FWW #GreatWar
Upper Left: Imperial Germany Flag. Three solid equal stripes, black on top, white in the middle, and red on the bottom.

Upper Right: Color scene of the Bavarian Alps. Clear blue sky above.  Jagged, Rocky Mountains in the background, some snow. Fast moving stream of greenish blue water in foreground.  A small footbridge in the middle crosses the stream. A large green tree dominates on the right. A small church with tall steeple reaches for the sky against the mountains in background. There is a small green lawn in front of the church toward the stream. Forested hill on the left.

Bottom Left: Black and white photo of Kaiser Wilhelm II in his uniform with epaulets and medal around his neck. Traditional mustache.  Looking slightly to his left. 

Bottom Right: Colorized photo of a group of corporals in training. In dark uniforms with building and forested hill in background. Rifles shoulders as they march. The front 2 smile while the man behind is deadly serious.
