phillock Posted December 31, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 31, 2014 Hi all This is one of the best sites on WWI/WWII of patches and insignia worn. I decided to do this as a separate thread from Patches in Action mainly because of the quality of the site and the images are of portraits. So enjoy the site and add your comments. http://portraitsofwar.wordpress.com/ Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gauthieb3sxz Posted December 31, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks for posting my blog! In fact, the photo of the doughboy was selected by DK publishers to be the cover of the most recent "Definitive Visual History of WWI" http://www.dk.com/us/9781465434906-world-war-i/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillock Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted January 1, 2015 Thanks for posting my blog! In fact, the photo of the doughboy was selected by DK publishers to be the cover of the most recent "Definitive Visual History of WWI" http://www.dk.com/us/9781465434906-world-war-i/ Gidday I'm glad your on USMF congratulations on a blog well done , I'm hoping more people will follow it and you add more portraits. Its deserving of a topic on its own. I picked those two because the 30th "Old Hickory" lying flat was for the Infantry and the artillery had it upright pre WWII, the picture of the Lady was to represent the women's effort and who made sacrifices, all too often overlooked.

gwb123 Posted January 1, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 1, 2015 This reminds me of the entry way into the National World War I Museum in Kansas City. Along a curved corridor are a set of video screens that show a series of photos of World War I participants. It is really striking how clear these are and they are almost life sized. And there are so many of them I am not sure I saw any of them repeat. Not to sound cliche, but it really brings the human element to the exhibit. You almost wish these photos could talk and share their story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
