Marked ET66 on the side (Eisenhuttenwerke Tahle, size 66 lut number R 190). If you want a pristine WW1 M16 helmet in very good condition, here is your chance! asking 450$ . Dm for pics

So I'm curious about how much danger the enemy could put artillerymen in.

Was artillery able to shoot over their trenches, no man's land and the enemy trenches, and hit opposing artillery pieces? How would they sight these shots? I assume they would be occasionally vaunerable to the odd air attack, but capabilites were pretty low at the time as well. So I'm curious as to what sort of danger they faced in the First World War. Were they vaunerable to enemy fire? Would shells be wasted on that when they could be used to pound the front lines and fortified positions? Any info or discussion would be appreciated. Thank you!

I believe its from ww1 can someone help with the translation? Thanks

Hello guys, I was thinking maybe you can send stories of WW1 from your relatives who fought in the war. I asked this because I see many comments from YouTube saying "My grandfather fought in this regiment and survived this war..." and so much more. But I wanted to hear your stories about how your relatives fought the war and how it was like, not just saying your grandparents fought or survived or died. Here's what I like to hear:

• First-hand experiences when in the frontlines
• First-hand experiences when not in battle
• Maybe tell their perspectives of the war, and how it affected them so much.
• Letters or diary entries (if optional, but really encouraged)
• Specify where they came from (an added bonus if a French, German, Russian, Ottoman, Italian, Austro-Hungarian, and much more.)

If it is okay with you, you can send stories or letters here in this post. I'd love to read all of them! Thank you so much!

Some couple of questions:

• What was the relationship like between Australians and British troops in WW1? Was it very negative or not? And were the Australians also feared by the Germans?
• Why were Canadians feared by the Germans, especially in their victory in Vimy Ridge? What tactics did they use?
• What were the Garhwals or the Sikhs?
• Did the Russians also use colonial troops?

I don’t like Swedish bayonets , and want to swap bayonet lugs. Can I???

So im doing reconstruction of a grenadier and im wondering what are these things

Why was Artois, Champagne, and the Chemin des Dames region so important in WW1 to the British and French?
