And this is what it looked like 90 years later: The postcard shows the building that stood before the Opera Bastille was constructed. The July Column, on the other hand, hasn’t changed much since its construction

A WW1 British soldier original character named Louis Edward Smith (or just Louie), 5'5'' tall.

Meet Louie! My first WW1 oc made around 2 years ago :D

He's a big talker, fighter, and smoker, looks unfriendly at first but he can be a nice guy in his own way. He's an absolute menace in the battlefield though, lol.

Amiens in 1918 I find it fascinating how postcards were used at the time as “news.” Well, not exactly news but as visual historical documents. It totally makes sense when you think about it, not even newspapers had...

Countdown to Christmas 2025: The Christmas Truce #speirgorm #christmas #wwi #christmastruce #cartoon #worldwarone

Much has been said about the so-called “Christmas Truce” during World War One.

What was really behind the armistice? Was it the Christmas spirit of peace on earth and goodwill toward men? Or is it more nuanced than that?

#ChristmasTruce #worldwarone #thegreatwar #christmashistory

A tragic accident the week before Christmas gave way to a story of a heroic response, a lasting friendship, and a unique Christmas tradition.

Hear all about it on the new episode of Christmas Past, wherever you get podcasts.
