  the last times I've seen you on the max show .... lol

  You can read a little more about Private Hines in the online version of an exhibiton we did a few years ago called Fifty Australians. He became quite famous because of this photo, which was first published in late 1917.

  Thanks, Liz from AWM. That's a good piece about Mr. Hines which you have linked.

German ammunition abandoned at Battle of the Marne, 10/29/14 (LOC)

  German 77mm light field artillery shells, very common in WWI. You can see the seam between the shell case and the head. These look like shrapnel rounds. They also made gas rounds.

  Wow! Cool shot!

  I bet 77mm was more than enough to kill or cripple dozens of soldiers.
