"1917" is a big winner at the box office and in Oscar nominations right now. Well, while we're discussing WW1, maybe you'd enjoy a real (hand tinted) French postcard of a WW1 soldier?

It is, isn't it. I've rarely seen hand-tinted photos so nicely done. Someone did a beautiful job on that one.

Spoiler alert: we won but lost in the end. Created the atmosphere for WWII.

Mary Ann, you are so right. WWI was just a warm up for Adolph Hitler.

Constance Jean Montfort the treaty Germany had to sign at the end of "The Great War" left the German population homeless an starving. Plus it was a Family affair.

MaryAnn Ferguson Yep. Nothing like starving out an entire nation to make them an enemy. People need to be treated as human - all people - or we rebel. We act out. Because we are ALL human beings. ALL of us. Everywhere.

Constance Jean Montfort & Bush 2 was just a warm up for Trump.

Sherry Richmond Just couldn't resist tossing Trump in there could you, even into a WWI discussion. Flew right over Obama, too. You people are obsessed and can't see it.

In the neighborhoods where I grew up in Nashville, in the 40's and 50's, there were quite a few middle aged men who were veterans of the "AEF" and had served "Over There!" With a little prodding, they would even pull out a few old photos of their time in France. I feel honored to have known them. They are, of course, all many years gone now, and our wonderful WWII vets are right behind them. Won't be long before they are all in Valhalla. TOO BAD! We are a pale shadow of those Americans now!

Extraordinary film. Must see it on the big screen!
via Facebook
Because it’s a visually stunning film that will lose much of its impact on the typical home TV screen. Like last year’s “Dunkirk,” the emotional power comes from the big screen.

Robert Dean saw it on IMAX. Looks great. Bit disappointed with the film itself.

My grandfather was a ww1 vet I can barely remember him, I do remember him telling me that while serving in Italy, he got some leave and went over the hill and visited his grandmother in Salerno

Both of my grandfathers were in WW1. Dad and his brother in WW2. On both my father's and mother's sides, in all the wars going back to the Revolutionary War - and before that in the French and Indian War.

My Grandpa in WW1. He just turned 13 in this photo. The day after he finished his training there was a cease fire and the leaders officially ended the war, so he never participated in any battles. He went home when the war ended, finished trade school and then came to America 👍

Imperial Germany was using "boys" by the end of the war. They were running very short of manpower for their army. Same thing happened in WWII!

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here.
If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
