Very pleased to add this to my collection, as it contains one of my favourite cartoons, 'The Night Party', from the #FWW. I wonder who ended up with the original? #WW1 #CartoonHistory #23Division #TrenchJournals

Things They Knew and Saw: An Introduction An introduction to Things They Knew and Saw. A celebration of trival history.

What with the PhD and all. It's been a while since I updated my website. I'm hoping to fix that with a series of short articles celebrating the trivial in history. Here's the first. #FWW #TRENCHCULTURE #TRENCHJOURNALS

This reminds me of @chance1234.bsky.social & his research into #cartoons printed in #WWI #trenchjournals.

One wonders if the Ukrainian military can find anything funny about the invaders from Russia.

“…and, lo, trenches are with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

—Ukrainian Jesus

@Chance1234.bsky.social, my wife and I started a DOWNTON ABBEY rewatch, and Season 2, Episode 1 opened in the trenches at The Somme, 1916. I briefly told her of your research of #FWW #trenchjournals.

(Please forgive us our guilty pleasures, but we are Americans, after all).

Some more copies of ‘The Outpost’ for my collection. I would argue that this publication should be the benchmark which other #trenchjournals are held up to; given it is probably the most ‘representative’ of such publications

Missing Edition of the Wipers Time

If you think you have a complete series of the Wipers Times on your shelves, then I am afraid you need to think again. The Actor, Avesnes, and The Forgotten Evening Edition of the Wipers Times
