dorrie Posted 12 October , 2007 Share Posted 12 October , 2007 I have read the complete collection of the Wipers Times and I am now reading the 5th Glosters Gazette 1915-1919 in book form. DId many battalions have Trench magazines and if so have they been compiled in to books like Wipers Times? They make exceelent and fascinating reading Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Tiger Posted 12 October , 2007 Share Posted 12 October , 2007 Tim Try The Kemmel Times, The Somme Times, The BEF Times & The Better Times. All of these were compiled into one book, along with the Wipers Times. Published 1973 by Peter Davies Ltd, London. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 12 October , 2007 Share Posted 12 October , 2007 There were a few different trench magazines but perhaps none with the scope of Wipers Times and the associated editions. A well known one is Blighty available reprinted from the IWM (the Christmas edition). This unbelievably amazing site below should keep you occupied for a while... http://www.greatwardifferent.com/Great_War/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob elliott Posted 14 October , 2007 Share Posted 14 October , 2007 Des, I have a copy of the Incinerator. There were i think only two issues done, by Lt Monard of the YCV. He was a Londoner who survived the war. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

healdav Posted 25 October , 2007 Share Posted 25 October , 2007 If you Google you can find some French papers as well. Le Mouchoir printed in the Bois le Prêtre is just one. That was ineresting as the editor was a well known artist/ sketcher and he did some wonderful drawings and cartoons for the paper. Strangely, the French army was not in favour of these papers - unknown why - and so he did colour drawings for he army commander, chief of staff, division commander, and black and white for the rest. The mighty ones liked the drawings and so let it carry on. Sadly he editor was killed just before the end. The colour drawings are mostly available on he internet. Note that they are of real places and can be matched up still on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
