Weapons and War US trops are practicing using the baoynet. This is horrifying because the boyonet is the most inhumane weapon ever used in a war. The soldier must see the eyes and face of their enemy as they essentially skewer them.



Animals and the War

This is a picture of German dogs who are trained to scare enemies and carry a special gun. This is personally upsetting because I have a dog and I would never want her to have to go through the horror these dogs have experienced. In war when animals are used, most consider them to be dispensable and no one really cares about them.



Destruction and Death

This is a picture of a home that was destroyed during a German raid. When most people think of a war they automatically picture a battlefield with solderis being the casualties. This picture shows the other side and reminds me that innocent civiliians can be injured and effected. It is reasonable to assume that a family with little kids once lived here and the father doesn't know how he will support his family or even fix his house.

Refugees

This is a picture of Serbian peasants fleeing. This is troubling because I can not imagine having very little time to pack up my things and leave. It is sad that they have no idea what will happen to their home, friends, and family, or even when they will be able to return.

Hospitals

This is a picture of Indian soldiers carrying a wounded soldier. This shows me how people in the army will stick together. They realize that they all need each others support to stay alive and I respect them for that.

War Album Marion McCune Rice

This is a picture of injured soldiers being unloaded into a French hospital. This is interesting because I don't recognize how brave the women who help in the war really are. They dedicate their time and efforts for their country and they do not get the recognition that they deserve. War Album Pat Robey This is a picture of soldiers inflating a sausage balloon. This is a balloon that was used during WW1 that allowed the French to see their enemies strengths and weaknesses from the air.



Camouflage This is a long range weapon for the US artillery. This is strange becuase I dont think that this weapon could blend in with its surroundings at all. It is too large and I think that most soldiers would be able to spot it right away.



Fortifications and Camps

This is a picture of French trenches. It is hard for me to be able to imagine fighting in a trench like that. I would feel like there is no protection and I would feel claustrophobic. It is pretty brave of the soldiers that are able to do that.



Troops

The caption for this picture is French troops relaxing in a trench. This shows me that there is no way to relax in a trench. It is prbably one of the most difficult ways to fight in a war. There is no comfortable way to be in a trench and it can cause injuries such as trench foot.

Women's Battalion of Death kitchen squad This is a picture of Russian women who played a part in the war. I wonder if they wanted to help and be a part of the war. I also wonder if they just did things in the kitchen, or if some of them disguised themselves and actually fought in the war.

Working Album I thought this picture was interesting. There was no caption and his expression is very serious. His mustache is really weird.



Remains of Zeppelin over England. This picture is powerful because it shows how devastating war is. The power that is used during war is horrendous and it is used to kill and to cause destruction.

War at Sea French and British forts attack entrance at Dardanelles. This is a powerful picture because war causes such destruction. On all of those ships there are men fighting for their country doing what they believe to be right.

War Album Charles Muckenstrum This is a picture of the Regimental Band US 303rd Infantry. In this picture they all look calm and content. I wonder if they were thinking of what lie ahead of them. I also wonder how many men in this picture survived the war.

War Album Ditlevson

This is a picture of two wounded soldiers in a hospital. Looking at the picture, I wonder what their injuries were. It makes me think f all the soldiers that have been currently injured in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
