Night attacks and brutal fighting allow the Italians to seize vital trenches just a few kilometers from Trieste. Austria-Hungary will shorten their lines along Mount Santo and the Hermada Hills. #WW1 #FWW #GreatWar 023

This included rolls such as clerks, drivers, mechanics, telephonists, telegraphers and typists. 50,000 women volunteered throughout the war. #WW1 #WarHistory #WomenAtWar 194
policybloke.bsky.social @policybloke.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Yes, sorry, a bit of an ingenuous question. Replacing the headstone with a CWGC one later wouldn't have been welcomed by the family, I imagine. 100

With 2,000 troops onboard it was planned she would be beached and allow for a quick deployment. Defenders kept heavy fire on her throughout the day causing many casualties of those who tried to disembark. #ww1 #gallipoli #warhistory #history 1115

policybloke.bsky.social @policybloke.bsky.social · 29/08/2026No, it wasn't and both British and French tanks were used in increasing numbers through the end of 1916 and 1917, but Cambrai is flagged as the first use of massed tanks as the main attack method. The use of predicted artillery fire on a massive scale is not given as much credit. 000
