you have only to watch old newsreels of the allies going over to France on D day. it makes me feel very humble to see all those young men risking there lives to set the world free, God bless them, lets hope we do good with our freedom.

Nice set of cards. If you read them you can learn a lot of history from them.You don't need to lug around heavy books.:-).

[creamofcardstv]

@bookcartpeddlerny Yes, you can fit quite a few of them on a single shelf :D . Have you had any of the US baseball cards?

[bookcartpeddlerny]

@creamofcardstv Yes,I still have a folder or two of U.S baseball cards. Some of the older players, none too recent... Perhaps I'll make a video of them.

Brilliant Video mate :) I'll check out your channel! Thanks again for giving a link to me :) The hot air balloon observation idea was brilliant as well as the horse gas masks! Very interesting video :)

very nice

Probably the 'tank' was still classified then.  The term 'tank' was used to mislead spies then.

[creamofcardstv]

@mrgoodvibrations It must have been their new secret weapon :D

[RaptorZX3]

the motor was the latest technology at this time, right?

So the army had to use it everywhere, even in a bath! I think they overdid it in World War 1...motorized pigeon cote? why?

[creamofcardstv]

@RaptorZX3 These cards are fun. The motor car was relatively new then. I'm going to video some 1901 cards featuring cars and motor cycles soon. I think they used the pigeons for sending messages. Radio (wireless telegraphy) was very experimental then. Radio didn't go mainstream until the early 1920s.

@creamofcardstv

But with pigeons...it was kinda a "hit or miss" thing, since the bird can just fly away and never deliver the message. So my guess is they were sending not-that-important messages with pigeons.

Imagine sending important informations about the enemy's position so others won't get caught, and the pigeon just got killed or just went somewhere else to never return?

I guess they were willing to take chances back then.

[creamofcardstv]

@RaptorZX3 I think a lot of the stuff they were using in WW1 was hit and miss by the looks of it. They seem to try out any new inventions. Gas poisoning and flame throwers were dangerous for both sides.

@creamofcardstv I'm glad I wasn't a soldier then
