-German troops lining the trench with their machine guns. -This picture has a personal connection to me as well as my family because of my grandfather's missions in this war. -British horse hauling supplies to troops across the battlefield. -This picture has a special connection with my life in that I used to ride horses and work in close contact with them; I know what they are capable of performing. -This picture is a photo taken by a bystander on the streets of Ferdinand's Funeral procession. -This has a connection to me in that I have been a bystander throughout many funerals. -This photo is of a line of United States Naval Vessels going into battle on the sea. -I have a passion for being on the water because of my history of being on a boat since I was a little kid. It also ties in with the family because of my grandfather's position and job aboard these amazing ships. -This is a photo of Major General William R. Smith, Commander. He was part of the 35th Army Division. -My personal reaction is again thinking of my family history in which my grandfather came in very close contact with many of these historic commanders of the U.S Army. -This is a photo of British Royal Marines marching through Belgium. -Connection to my life is that I have family members that more than likely served with these brave gentleman pictured in this snapshot. -Burial services on the battlefield of the first Amercians killed in war by the German troops. -My personal reaction to this photo, as should be the same as many people, is answering peoples' questions of how much these soldiers deserve, being verterans. They are truly heroes that should be honored everyday of their lives. They put their lives on the line for the freedom that each Amercian enjoys and possess each day on this earth. -Photo taken of a British gunman aboard his single prop fighter. -Again, tieing into my family history, my grandfathers were part of air to air missions. One was a pilot and the other was a gunman. -British artillery -This photo, in my mind, is a link to my family in that grandfathers and great-grandfathers were part of these brave gentleman that put themselves on the front lines for our sake. -A woman torn apart by the war -This makes me realize how much people went through during these times when selfish government officials thought they could take over the world. This poor woman has nothing but the clothes on her back and her lone friend of this cow. She has no place to call home, for it was probably destroyed. -Troops waiting to get food and necessary supplies they need from the Salvation Army. -This photo triggers a thought in my mind that we should say thanks, which is still not good enough, to those men and woman who sacrificed their lives for us. These men on the battlefields suffered from hunger and thirst, all to protect and fight for what they believed. -Distribution of soup and other food to those who suffer. -This photo will make you realize what being in war can do to oneself. People throughout the world during The Great War suffered from thirst, hunger, and medical problems. Woman rose to the occasion to try and provide as much as they could, for they cared for the people risking their lives for them. -British camp for those who are entering the war. -This photo can depict very well the conditions that men and women would learn to expect throughout their time spent overseas away from home. There was nothing, if at all, the bare necessities to barely survive. -This is an airial view of a battlefield. -This photo can make you think of what happened to the land that was fought upon. There is nothing left of this land, except for the damage made by the trenches, death of soldiers and the weapons left behind of those who couldn't continue. -Procession of those who prayed for the safety of their loved ones on the front lines. -This will tell you how much even those who weren't fighting went through. Many families were torn apart with the unknown thought of whether or not their loved one survived another day on the battlefield.
