I'm sure some of that was setup.

It may be original but it is not "untouched" as the headline in the article implies - someone has kept it clean and dusted.

And set up perfectly to look like a miniature WWI museum.

wouldn't it be better to donate that stuff to a museum?

I doubt he was smoking American cigarettes. Also, fireplace in the bedroom...

Im more concerned with the story on the right of that page saying we have been growing vaginas in labs since 2005!

American cigarettes
It is certainly possible. European domestic production of almost all consumer goods came to a halt during WWI as either industries were transformed into military production or labor became scarce as men went off to war. Thus American production of just about everything non military became very big during this period.

So he left to fight a war, but left behind all of his war gear?
