Here’s a model of the same type of radiology vehicle from the Musée du service de Santé des armées at Val-de-Grâce in Paris #1GM #FWWhist #ww1 #FWW #histmed #History 🗃

Model of a mobile x-ray vehicle of the First World War set up as if working with table for patient and tent/awning frame against the vehicle. The truck is in a military blue-grey and has a Red Cross symbol on the top rear of its left side.

During #WW1, Marie Curie created a vehicle that contained a hospital bed, generator, X-ray machine & photographic darkroom equipment. These “petite Curies" (below) could be driven right up to the Front. Curie trained 150 women as radiology technicians. #histmed #skystorians #histsci

An old automobile from World War I with an open top. The side has a Red Cross on it and underneath it reads: "Radiologie."

Thinking about the 130 or so British librarians killed in WW1. Their colleagues raised funds to create a lasting memorial to their sacrifice. Sadly, the tablet they commissioned is now displayed behind the scenes at the British Library, visible only to staff. #fwwhist #PubLibs 💙📚

Photo of a stone tablet with five columns listing the names & institutional affiliations of approx 130 British librarians killed in WW1. The tablet border is inscribed “IN MEMORY OF THE BRITISH LIBRARIANS FALLEN IN THE WAR MCMXIV-MCMXVIII”.

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

That gap in your life has doubtless been the absence of a book about US intelligence in World War I. Not to fear! My book on that very subject is out today! “World War I and the Foundations of American Intelligence” published by the fine people at the University Press of Kansas. #FWWHist

Me, standing in front of a bookshelf holding a copy of my new book “World War I and the Foundations of American Intelligence.” I have a big grin on my face because OMG this took soooo long.

Soldiers of the 48th Bn, 4th Australian Div, rest in a support trench during the third battle of #Passchendaele in 1917. When I look at photos such as this one, I inevitably wonder how many of these men survived the #GreatWar unscathed. #AIF #diggers #ANZAC #fwwhist

This is amazing! None of my friends or family has ever made me a Verdun cake, I urgently need new friends and family #fwwhist

C’est censé être Verdun. J’ai tendance à trouver cela déplacé pour un gâteau d’anniversaire surtout pour un enfant aussi jeune… pourquoi ne pas faire un avion ou un char plutôt ?

"Canadian Sentry, Moonlight, Neuville-Vitasse 1918" by Alfred Bastien, Canadian War Museum. As an old soldier, I have the utmost respect for Canada's soldiers. I'll admit that I'm biased, since I was seconded to A 2PPCLI for a month in 1984. #GreatWar #CEF #FWWHist #WesternFront #infanteer #infantry
