Withdrawing After Courageous Fighting Against Overwhelming Odds (LOC)

  • avanherreweghe said:
    A couple of corrections are to be made. 1. This is not Ghent, but Deinze, a city at about 15 miles SW of Ghent. The church is the Our Lady Church and the soldiers are crossing the river Leie (Lys). 2. They are crossing the river from left bank to right bank. This means that they are heading towards the Germans, so they are not withdrawing (yet). It also means that they have not been in any fighting yet.

French Cavalry & Dirigible DUPUY DE LOME (LOC)

  • trialsanderrors said:
    Named after French naval architect Stanislas Charles Henri Dupuy de Lôme (15 October 1816 – 1 February 1885). Not sure if it's this one or a later airship named in honor of Dupuy de Lôme: "The Dupuy de Lôme airship was 36 meters in length, 14.84 meters in diameter, 29 meters wide, and had a total volume of 3,454 cubic meters. It was powered by a 2 horsepower (1.5 kW) engine, providing a speed of between 9 to 11 km/h. The basket under the balloon could carry eight, several operating the balloon and others observing. She was the first operational airship, and was employed during the last days of the Franco-Prussian war."
