    I posted this picture in my PhotoStream someone comented it as wast taken at Avenida Lerdo and Calle Abram González , rather than avenida Lerdo and calle Manuel Bernal. Maybe he (she) is right. Because from the point he stablishes there are about 100 meters from the barricade to the federal headquarters www.flickr.com/photos/jesusduarte/5872145394/ . And makes sense for the barricades. It has to ve evaluated sister picture www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2162705877/ in which the irrigation canal is the clue. Acording to actual maps of the city the camera is facing towards the headquarters. The buildings depicted here exist no more. The irrigation canal does, but is covered at this level by some structures.

Gas attack. Funk holes in the trenches

    The ANZAC's seem to have the Creative Commonspretty well sorted compared with the Imperial War Museum. Take a look at the latter's paltry portrait gallery. Less than a dozen. No historical interest whatsoever. Nice for the families but do you want a picture of my uncle, God bless his soul?

    The M1 Garand did not exist then. I would say that it is a Lee Enfield. This picture reminds me how tired a person can really get. It makes me think of my days in the airborne infantry, I remember being so tired that I laid down in a mud puddle and fell asleep. You had to take it when and were you could get it. Ten or fifteen minutes of sleep was a treasured thing.

    Great photo, looks as if it was taken Yesterday. It is a Lee Enfield which had a good reputation with the men that used it If it had one weakness, it was that the firing mechanisms were susceptible to dirt and grit. When not in battle, many men simply covered the firing mechanism with cloth (as in the photo) in an effort to keep out dirt which would jam the rifle.
