    "At 4.20pm the 2nd Battalion, 60th Infantry, and the 2nd Battalion, 61st Infantry, had reached the bank of the river, and the engineers started work on the first bridge. At this moment a tremendous fire of machine guns and artillery burst on the exposed troops with great suddenness. The infantry sought shelter and found it, but the engineers bravely continued at their posts. Shells sank their boats as fast as they could be placed in the water and by 6.00 P. M. no boats were left. "

    I have just posted a writeup about a Silver Star Group I was lucky enough to aquire, Hope you enjoy it....

    So.... some really, really cool stuff today...

    An article about one of the smallest units of the war, The Magadi Defence force... one of those exotic, quaint and unusual units that can only be found in a British colony...

    And a fantastic Silver Star/Purple Heart group to a man of the 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd division... for the attack on the village of Vaux on the 1st of July 1918...

    An early X-Mas Special for you lazy bjggers who don't bother to sign the guest book.

    First off, some variations on the Granatenwerfer 16, with photos comparing the Prussian made and rare Bavarian made Werfer

    Harry has outdone himself, giving us one of the obscure and exotic Colonial/Indigenous units in "Cole's Scouts" and giving covering a lightning campaign in "Togoland 1914", over before the Germans even knew it was happening.

    Harry's Togoland article ties in nicely with our Fake EK deoc section, showing why the pictured Togoland Document must be a fake. A few more Fake EK docs are shown as well

    Some small changes to the article about the 10th RD on the Aisne with some historically fantastic EK docs

    check out the "whats new" section...

    "Hawickhorst was a reserve officer in Infanterie-Regiment (1. Lothringisches) Nr. 174."
