Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 1srelluc: @Miami_JBT Does the Official police have a Woolwich proof on it? Here's one on one of my pre-LL Mossberg 42 MBs. https://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2012/09/5nj2xi-1.jpg Another on a M1928 Thompson. http://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2009/09/standard-4.jpg They set-up a proofing facility in NYC and proofed the pre-LL arms before they shipped....They were just going around and buying guns off the shelf as well as from the manufactures that would sell to them. Many were lost to U-Boat action so a Woolwich proofed US manufactured firearm is sorta rare. From what I understand they paid in gold.  Correct and the reason I will never have a 1917 Sovereign in my collection. Almost all were used to pay us for ammo and FDR melted them all. The 1916 as well, just less were lost, so I was still able to find 2. |

German sub UB-88. Sank 16 ships before being surrendered at the end of the war. Was brought to the US to be studied and then used for a bonds tour. Sailed from NY through the Panama canal and ended up at the submarine base in San Pedro, CA. Her bronze fittings were melted down and turned into little paperweights. She was taken off the coast and sunk in 1921.

I have 2 large format photo histories of World War 1 that were my great grandfather’s. I would like someone to have them who would appreciate them and possible digitize the photos. They aren’t in great shape but they are full of some great images. If you or someone else in the thread would like to have them, IM me and I’ll send them to you.

These are pictures from a couple of period books that I was sent by member RobertL. I'll try to post a few pics each week from them. If you've looked at books like this before, they are mostly pretty mundane (to you and I), although at the time I'm sure there wwas tremendous interest in them, since cameras weren't in widespread use, and photographs were expensive to reproduce for the average citizen.
 Attached FileI'm not sure I'd wanna be hanging out on the wing of a zeppelin with a machine gun shooting at U-boats.  Attached FileSome of the pics or drawings will be too large for the scanner, so I will attempt to photograph them, crop them and make them as readable as possible. BTW, I didn't know the US was operating subs in WW1.  Attached File |

"Russian soldiers fighting with their Winchester 1895 carbines, eastern front, approximately 1916ish."
Actually, full length "muskets" in 7.62x54. Fun fact, Stalin unloaded a bunch of these on the Spanish commies during the SCW at inflated prices payable only in gold. Some were later imported by Sam Cummings at INTERARMS after he bought a huge quantity of obsolete arms from Spain. |

These are photos from the books above that were sent to me by RobertL. Unfortunately, my scanner is not big enough to scan such large photos. Most of them are quite mundane, so I tried to pick out the ones that would be of interest. There is a lot of great information in them, to include large, hand-drawn maps of various events. It is interesting reading, and quite an accomplishment for the times.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mal_means_bad: ANZACs in the village of Surafand, Palestine https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/172926/Sarafand1_jpg-1986414.JPG Arab tribesmen had a black reputation for theft, grave robbery, and murder of the occasional isolated soldier, and the British occupational authority found them to be nigh ungovernable, so they went out of their way to ignore what the locals were up to. With the war just over the ANZACS were waiting around waiting to ship for home when a New Zealander soldier was murdered while chasing a thief carrying off his pack. The thief dropped a native hat and his tracks ran into the village of Surafend, an official investigation entering the village the next day received no local cooperation and appeared to be impotent. That night about 200 of the New Zealanders, with some minority Australian participation, cordoned off the village and adjacent Bedouin camp, set aside the women and children, then killed with bayonets and clubs every adult male they found and burned the village to make sure they got them all. This happened within sight and sound of divisional headquarters, which apparently failed to intervene, and hundreds of Australian soldiers turned out to watch. Death estimates vary from 40 to 120. In the following investigation not a single man admitted to it or identified a participant, the surviving Arabs declined to cooperate, and no charges were brought. The Surafend Massacre NZ .gov ... and people say that violence doesn't solve anything... |

Vlissingen, The Netherlands - Terrific mine explosion - Panorama - 1919
Terrific mine explosion in Vlissingen. Due to the storm a few days ago, several mines were washed ashore in Vlissingen. One of them was knocked into the boulevard. The explosion shattered several windows of surrounding houses and destroyed roofs and ceilings. Not a window of the public school on the Groote Markt (see our photo on the left) has remained intact. The right photo shows a mine that was struck by the high seas on top of the Loodsenpier, but fortunately did not explode.  Attached File |
