Cnock Eddy, this is clearly 1914 Isolierband (electrical band) from Dielektra company and it actual proves the ingenuity of the soldiers to improvise in the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterhogg Posted 20 August , 2010 Share Posted 20 August , 2010 More significant, note in the background the presence of trail bikes, an innovation that allowed runners to deliver messages in a more timely fashion. also, at the far right, evidence of one of the worst fashion crimes perpetrated by the Hun: the white short sleeve shirt. quite possibly a pocket protector is being worn too, compounding the atrocity. Apparently too Armin-Muhler Stahl (centre) is a re-enactor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egbert Posted 16 December , 2010 Author Share Posted 16 December , 2010 One of the unsolved mysteries of the dune trench warfare has been solved. After a long search the notorious "sunken trench" has been rediscovered. A trench section that saw it all, tragedy and bravery. Here are parts of the fossiled remnants submerged in the sea and only visible at extreme low tide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterhogg Posted 1 October , 2011 Share Posted 1 October , 2011 Found an aerial from a another downed Fokker. Presumably a battered wood close to the coastline of Flanders. Some of those tree trunks are massive. This must be the rain forest region of Flanders. I would not have believed it, but there you go! Photographic evidence doesn't lie.....

SteveMarsdin Posted 2 October , 2011 Share Posted 2 October , 2011 Good morning all, Apparently it's another WW1 myth exploded.......we've always been led to believe that the sluice gates were opened by the Belgians, at Nieuport, to flood the lowlands of north Flanders; if truth be told it was obviously a tsunami coming in off the English Channel, caused by a huge rockfall at the white cliffs of Dover........

egbert Posted 17 September , 2012 Author Share Posted 17 September , 2012 It is said this trench was still seen long time after the WW1 hostilities ceased. Is this a railway trench, anybody knows the wherabouts coastal Flanders? , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
