Boy. Who knew 1903 was so Prog. Any astute revelations?
Apologies, Kafka. I'm sure I'll be banned for my ugliness when others wake up. So many RAs I'm sure. See you in 3 months?

Spent artillery shell casing's from the western front after the Battle of the Somme. They fired close to 1.5 million shells over a weekend bombardment in the belief it would weaken up the German defenses.
They were horrifically wrong.. The German machine gunners emerged from their holes dug deep into the trenches, set up their weapons and mowed down the advancing BEF troops as they marched across no mans land.

Always a stop for a cross country trip.
Canal Street, New Orleans 1950's.
You knew this wouldn't fly today...
Tiger Stadium, 1960's
Where you'd stop if you drove to Tiger Stadium from New Orleans back then.

They were taken in Georgia about 1895 to 1920 by a photographer named Cicero Simmons, who documented one-room schoolhouses, blacksmith shops, trains, baptisms, children and farm workers including entire families picking cotton and harvesting peanuts.
Fonville Winans did a lot of photography like that in Louisiana between the 1920's and 50's, though I haven't found a great source of jpgs or pngs that would be easy to link.

There were three main factors that went into the failure of the British bombardment at the Somme;
1. An alarmingly high number of of three shells were duds.
2. A lot of the rounds fired were shrapnel instead of high explosive. Shrapnel shells are very effective against troop concentrations in the open, but virtually useless against field fortifications.
3. The expert manner in which the Germans dug their trenches and dugouts.
