Franz Ferdinand’s infamous tunic, carriage and much more in Museum of Military History in Vienna

Today I had the date of my life with this beautiful piece of history which shaped today’s world. Tunic of archduke with the bullet hole (3rd pic), clothing set and chaise lounge where he died, carriage with another bullet hole, 3 stories tall Skoda howitzer gun, armored cupola from Belgium with a massive crack.

Honestly even shed few tears over some of the stuff in the museum: deeply disturbing and eerie feeling of what that conflict was and what it brought.

Cannot recommend this museum more, must-visit if you’re in Vienna! For 3,5 euro it shows you so much and displays absolute bangers.

Can anyone help tell me what this postcard says? I think it may be from a WWI soldier. Thanks!

I own many postcards but this one stood out bc I (think) it says it was written by a private S Burton (???)

Maybe im just jumping to conclusions here lol.

Finally Pieced Together a Complete Set of New York Times Current History The European War

Inherited an incomplete set and finally got all the missing volumes and index together. In searching for these volumes, I realized there were never any photos taken of a complete set and want to post this for a searchable reference. Just need to negotiate some proper shelf space, but got it secured in a climate controlled environment for the time being. (To address any worry, it is on some vinyl flooring strips ;)

Interested to know more about languages in WW1

As the title, WW1 was all about mixture of different nationalities, ethnicities and so is languages. I have heard that French was the lingua franca of that period and only high degree officers had the access to learn it .

I am wondering and thinking how was the communication at that period? Communication among generals, statesman, and even among infantry because most of the infantry were regular people doing the civil works. French, British fighting together, Germans and Ottomans, Italy and British and so on.

What, in your opinion, was the most beautiful looking plane in WW1 (and also why I feel WW1 planes were peak for aviation aestetics)?

The biggest aviation crushes of mine are the Albatross D series (III and V specifically), the Spad XIII, Sopwiths (Snipe, Camel, Salamander), and the Bristol F.2.

For me, WW1 planes are THE best looking planes. It just feels like with these planes, the designers had a artistic vision on how to give their designs personality. They're just some of the best looking planes, and no other plane since can compare.
