"Night. Red light is the only thing that pulls figures out of the darkness, a conditional cover that will not give them away"

"Departure of #infantrymen to positions" [1/2]

Happy 250th Anniversary to the U.S. Army. It has been an honor for me to be a part of your history. To the people of the United States, I remain at your service. Barry Donadio

"Every little thing is important. Every wrong step can cost him his life. Therefore, regular #tactical #medicine #classes and practicing evacuation scenarios are a mandatory part of the training of all #Azov soldiers. From clerks to #infantrymen and #scouts."

This impressive watercolor by #RGA Gunner F.J. Mears depicts #British #infantrymen advancing at night wearing gas masks. It’s a powerful reminder of the horrors of war. Like my grandfather, Gunner Mears served on the #WesternFront in the #GreatWar. #combatart #fwwhist #ww1 #gasmask
