Oh, I’m going to watch this. 👍

Michel put a lot of work into creating this. It’s lengthy but you come away with a much better understanding of the ground, something that is difficult to achieve virtually. Well done.

If you've never been to France, this short video shows you a typical rustic French village. This one is Grimaucourt-en-Wöevre, liberated by the 81st "Wildcat" Division on 10th November, 1918. #greatwar #ww1 #military #history #podcast #americanexpeditionaryforce #doughboys

This short recording brings us to Manheulles, France, in the Wöevre Plain. The 81st took over the line here on November 7th and made only small advances in the last days of the war. The video shows the ground over which the Doughboys of the Wildcat Division advanced.

To help share and spread interest in WW1 the New Ypres League has issued a revised and updated recreation of the original Ypres League Map of the Ypres Salient. This fold-out map is a real treat, and if you're like me you will spend a good deal of time looking at it.

Thanks Louise for staying up with us. Jerry does such a good job. You can tell he was a courtroom attorney in a previous life. This was Jerry's fourth presentation for us and the others are available on the GWDG YouTube page: www.youtube.com/channel/UC0O...

Was there a Schlieffen Plan? Or was it just something created in the 1920s by the German Army to cover up their failure during the initial attack in September 1914? Today the Great War Discussion Group releases David Pendleton’s presentation on the topic. #FWW #WW1 #WWI youtu.be/qaqwZI6XxbI

I know they are worn with pride, but I can’t imagine life in the trenches wearing one. But then again, life in the trenches was pretty rough in general. Hope you are doing well Tom. 👍

Thanks Mike. I appreciate the opportunity to do Great War history with someone like yourself. Motion graphics take a lot of time. I don't think people appreciate the time these things take. I still just learning. Cheers.
