 * testing trench mortar bombs at a French factory

I was also unaware that there was special artillary for such a tactic instead of just using their regular guns.**
 * This picture appeals to me because trench warfare was a new and often used tactic during this time of war.


 * Sending off a message with a messenger dog

By using dogs, it is less likely that an enemy will capture the messenger and get hold of the information the message contains.
 * Using dogs as messengers was a very smart and safe way to send information to dangerous areas.

** Viennese mourners waiting to view the bodies of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie Hohenstein

Many people were extremely upset and outraged at this tragety and this picture surely proves that.
 * This particular picture captures my attention because the assassination of these people helped spark World War II.

Crew of German submarine U-53

After Germany broke their promise to not sink anymore passenger ships, President Wilson prepared America for war.
 * U Boats were used by the Germans to sink Allied ships including the British passenger liner "Luitania."


 * General Sir Henry Wilson**

Wilson was the deputy chief of staff of the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front when World War I broke out.
 * Henry Wilson's name got my attention because i remembered having learned about him at one point.


 * US soldiers on winter training sortie**

Many soldiers died from these unbearable freezing conditions alone instead of war injuries**
 * This picture shows how the soldiers had to go through many harsh weather conditions.

People who took in these gases most of the time would painfully suffocate to their death.**
 * Air raids were a new and torturous war tactic that made many suffer and damaged many places.

Planes were used during war mostly to drop bombs but as you can see here, it was not always a safe job.**
 * Planes were highly used and effected during World War I up until today and probably the future.

Old woman and her cow, displaced by the war

Seeing a real woman with her cow in the freezing winter really shows the horrible effects that war can have on all people.**
 * I was very surprised when i first saw this picture because I had never envisioned such a scene.


 * Salvation Army volunteers mending uniforms for troops

There were many soldiers which meant many uniforms had to be made, which people don't really ever think about.**
 * This picture here shows importance of the efforts of people to support soldiers and the war effort.

Volunteers for the Women's Battalion of Death**
 * [[image:http://www.gwpda.org/photos/coppermine/albums/uploads/troops/normal_01968.jpg]]

I then looked it up and learned that many women volunteered to join the war and were trained to fight in battle just like the men.
 * My first reaction to this picture was asking myself, "What is a Battalion of Death?"

German trenches in the Vosges Mountains
 * [[image:http://www.gwpda.org/photos/coppermine/albums/userpics/normal_00013.jpg]]

Not only was there fighting in open fields, waters, and air, but on even mountains as well.**
 * This picture helps shows that there were many places where battles were taken place and where soldiers were stationed.

 * This picture shows how people and their carts had to be checked in certain areas during war.**
 * Soldiers would check to make sure the carts being brought in by people weren't carrying harmful weapons.**

German troops en route to Russia

Trains must have been a very common and effective way to travel soldiers from place to place, which i had never really thought of before now.**
 * My reaction to this picture was thinking about how soldiers got to different places during war.


 * German aerial photograph: British camp on the Tigris

When you think of soldiers setting up camp, you never really think that there are places they aim to set up towards that they can benefit from.**
 * Many different troops set up camps and tents near rivers, obviously because of its source of water.


 * Female ambulance drivers

It was different top see that woman didn't strictly just nurse the soldiers but drove ambulances in relation.**
 * I was interested to see this picture because when I think of women helping in war, you think of them just being nurses by soldiers bedsides,

A doctor and Men injured form the war album of Ditlev Ditlevson

Though this pictrue only shows a cople injured men and the doctor, hundreds of thousands of men were injured even moreso than this during the wars.
 * Here shows men injured at war that must stay in bed and can no longer go out to fight during their time of healing.

Three soldies in gear stop to pose for a quick picture

The comparrison from what is worn today is very different. The helmets particularly caught my attention.
 * This picture attracted me because it shows what the most soldiers wore on a daily basis during this time.


 * Camouflaged French submarine


 * This pictrue most definately stood out to me and interested me. Though camouflaged uniforms are very common for soldiers, I have**
 * never before seen a camoflaged submarine. I find this very clever and probably very affective once it is underwater.**

Clifford E. Bishops wife. Not only do the soldiers suffer, but those people in the soldiers' lives are also affected by their absense.
 * I chose this particular picture because it shows that soldiers each are away from their life at home.
