    Maybe the French military borrowed their armour design from the Australian bushranger Ned Kelly? Who knows... I borrowed this image for a blog post over at CherryFingers Dynasty. Thanks for the fantastic pic.

    this looks more like a drawing than a photo. Might it be an artist impression of an eyewitness account ?
  • Simon Trimby said:
    The body armour looks better made than the helmet, and appears to be the pre-war armour worn by cuirassiers (heavy cavalry). If so, it wasn't bullet-proof!
  • Steven Sanders said:
    It wasn't uncommon for photographs to be drawn over back then. Lots of photos use hand touch ups to bring out detail, this one just takes it to an extreme.

    Also in Italy "arditi" soldiers used to wear that, if I'm not wrong. But it wasn't so bullet-proof.

    Thank you for posting these photos. I remember studying about WW1 in high school but this tells the tale.

    "40 Years Since The End of World War I"? I really thougt it was 90 years ago!
  • Yvette Hoitink said:
    The Dutch version says "De foto is verspreid in november 1958, 40 jaar na de wapenstilstand", "This photo was spread in November 1958, 40 years after the armistice". I guess that explains the 40 years ago in the description.

    This well known photo depicts British soldiers in a captured German trench. One can tell that because the fire-step and parados are on the left while the sentry is posted on the back of the trench on the right.

    The world still NEEDS to see captures like this...it should always remain fresh in the mind...

    It is nice to see pictures from the other side. All to often we only see pictures of British/French/American troops.
