My journey through the digital collection of the British Library continues.

This evening I ran across several images taken during WWI.

Gus, I thought you'd enjoy seeing these.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Thanks LB. O0

The British Library are a great public resource. I also like the Bundesarchiv, which offers a similar public service. You might like it too. :)
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Never tried the Bundesarchiv. Sounds like it might have real potential.

Thanks!

It may even be better than this British Library collection.
