WWI in Photos

An interesting and touching piece from 'The Atlantic' presenting modern day photos of WWI sites.

One thing that I found interesting is that during the Verdun Campaign, 9 French villages were completely destroyed. However, the French government still recognises the villages and they are still listed on maps and in official documents. Although nothing remains from these villages, they still have mayors, who are appointed.

If anyone wants to see some video from WW1. I'll post some links here. There is no sound. So, you might want to put something in the background.

The British Imperial War Museum has a huge collection from the war. Just search for it in the space allotted.
Example: U.S. troops march through London before they head to France. They are inspected by King George and other British notables.

A YouTube channel with Russian war footage.
Example: The Tsar and the Grand Duke inspect Przemysl after its fall.

The Bundesarchiv has German video from the war. Someone who speaks German can post a better link.
Example: The Germans conduct an amphibious assault, in the Baltic, during Operation Albion.

I forgot to add that the Atlantic piece that I referenced above was actually a 10 part series of WWI photos. The link to the other 9 parts can be found in my link above.
