Good Ideas, Military Add comments

The Internet and World Wide Web continue to astound. Today brings the opening of The Great War Archive:

The Great War Archive contains over 6,500 items contributed by the general public between March and June 2008. Every item originates from, or relates to, someone’s experience of the First World War, either abroad or at home. Contributions were received via a special website and also through a series of open days at libraries and museums throughout the country.

    I have a WW I Army tactical telegraph switchboard and Signal Corps expanding box camera. I’m keeping them.
