Canute Posted Thursday at 01:22 PM Share #94 Posted Thursday at 01:22 PM It's already looking miserable and cold. And well fed rats. May become a meal for somebody. 😝 RGL, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realworkingsailor Posted Thursday at 02:59 PM Share #95 Posted Thursday at 02:59 PM If I had to guess, it looks very much like a scene from the winter of 1919/1920, when the French were clearing up the mess left behind, and refugees were maybe returning to see what was left of their homes and farms. Steam engines were very dangerous near the trenches! The smoke would tend to draw artillery fire. A good book to check out is Tracks to the Trenches by David Guay. It’s about the trench railway systems that were built to supply troops.

RGL Posted Thursday at 08:15 PM Author Share #96 Posted Thursday at 08:15 PM Pretty much spot on but December 1918; this will be on the name plate. Also I’ve ordered a set of punch magazine from 1918 armistice to go with it and a French victory medal. There are heaps and heaps of photos of artillery parks post war where the barrels are written on in chalk by the claiming battalions. Here in Australia a there are artillery pieces in front of nearly all RSL’s. realworkingsailor, Jack12477, Egilman and 5 others 8 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
