Photograph via snooOG

a satire subreddit for pictures from WWI with a (made up) problem the people in the picture appear to have or also modern pictures whose content (e.g. fashion) emerged from WWI even though the person on the picture hasn't the intention to imitate that.

  1. Posts must be related to WWI.

  2. No standard WWI memes! The post must be related to a problem the people in the picture appear to have.

  3. All titles must start with "When...".

  4. There should not be text on the picture itself.

  5. No photomontages or edited pictures. Use only original images.

  6. be nice
