Remembrance Day: World War I

World War I is a huge subject and one that I can only skim over on the Blog, but below are plenty of links for you to follow and find out more for yourselves.
The first article is a very good piece on how the war started and the main battles that took place on all fronts.
Whilst the Great War of 1914 - 1918 was supposed to be the war to end all wars history tells us different.
Why the picture of a Tank? WWI was the first time the tank was used in a battle and a piece of weaponry that would play a part in my life some 70 years after that first battle.




The first tank battle and the name of the barracks where I did my Basic Training.
