Désiré Bianco, born 4th April 1902 in Marseille, France and killed in action on 8th May 1915 (at he age of 13) in The Dardanelles(Orient Front).
His school was next to the barracks of the 6th Hussard Regiment. There he saw the soldiers leaving at the begining of the war in august 1914. He tried on two occasions to sneak with detachments enroute to the Meuse area, in the north of France. Twice he was unmasked and sent back to his family, until he secretly went aboard a ship in the port of Toulon with the 58th colonial infantry regiment on its way to the Dardanelles.
Unmasked again and too young to be officially recruited he became the mascot of the regiment. He was given a rifle and a marine uniform though.
The regiment landed under heavy fire on the beach of Gallipoli on the 6th may 1915. On the 7th may the regiment stormed an ennemy position but was stopped 100m away. On the 8th may, before the second attack was launched, the lieutnant took the rifle and bayonet away from the kid and gave him his sword instead and ordered him to stay in the trench.
He then rushed in front of his comrades, sword drawn, shouting 'Forward!'. He was killed a few meters close to the ennemy.
He is considered the youngest soldier "Fallen for France" during the world war one.

Captain Noel Godfrey Chavasse VC & Bar, MC (9 November 1884 – 4 August 1917) was a British medical doctor, Olympic athlete, and British Army officer from the Chavasse family. He is one of only three people to be awarded a Victoria Cross twice.

Chavasse was first awarded the VC for his actions on 9 August 1916, at Guillemont, France when he attended to the wounded all day under heavy fire.
Chavasse's second award was made during the period 31 July to 2 August 1917, at Wieltje, Belgium.

Chavasse died of his wounds in Brandhoek and is buried at Brandhoek New Military Cemetery, Vlamertinge.[11] His military headstone carries, uniquely, a representation of two Victoria Crosses.[3]

Chavasse was the only man to be awarded both a Victoria Cross and Bar in the First World War, and one of only three men ever to have achieved this distinction.

Jean-Corentin Carré (9 January 1900 - 18 March 1918) is the youngest french soldier of ww1.

After the departure of his father to the war, Corentin wants to follow him but his application is rejected due to his young age. Taking advantage of the confusion of the early months of war he enlists under the name of Augustus Duthoy, born in 1897 at Rumigny, Ardennes, which is in german occupied territory (the recruiting officer therefore cannot verify his identity).

He follows a squad of trainee corporals up to the front on the 20th October 1915 in Mesnil-les-Hurlus sector (Marne/Champagne). He becomes a sergeant in June 1916 and receives the Military Cross in November 1915. In late December 1916, he decides to reveal his true identity, but he must, despite the support of his commanding officer, resigned from his rank and re-enlist as a private.
He fights in the trenches within the 410th infantry regiment and at the insistence of his colonel he gets his grade back. He receives a new citation to the Order of the Division in June 1917: "N.C.O. with an admirable bravery, has enlisted at the age of 15yo under a false name in order to go forth to battle earlier (...) Always voluntary for the most dangerous missions which he successfully achieved with great composure and an admirable courage."

He then volunteers to serve in the aviation. he gets his pilot license in the summer of 1917 and is assigned to the squadron 229 SW equipped with Sopwith Strutter.
Jean-Corentin Carré is shot down over Verdun and dies of his wounds at the military hospital of Souilly on 18th March 1918.
He receives a third citation, posthumously, to the Order of the Army "Jean Corentin Carré, from the 410th infantry regiment and pilot of squadron 229 SO, attacked by three enemy planes, on March 18, defended himself vigorously until his plane was shot down, leading him to a glorious death".

He is buried in the necropolis of Rembercourt-Sommaisne, Meuse, France, grave 1510.

>>2773523

I heard that in this plane, if you gunned the throttle too hard, it would roll over. Instead of a crankshaft, the entire engine block rotated so it built up gyroscopic force.

I've done a little flying and stuff like that makes me wince. In 1914-1918 the planes themselves were as dangerous as Richthofen.

Oh, and if you were one of the lucky ones to receive a parachute some of the enemy had no qualms about machine gunning you as you dangled in the air, helpless.

>>2782211
The Camel had a rotary engine with the propeller statically mounted to it. During take-off if the pilot didn't manage the throttle properly he could easily roll the aircraft.

In flight, however, during a right-hand turn the nose would drop and in a left-hand turn it would rise. If improper rudder inputs were applied the pilot could lose control of the aircraft. That is caused by torque, not gyroscopic effects.

The DR-1 also had a rotary engine, but I don't think it was as powerful.

You can never please black people. I read an article about blacks in WW1 and in the same paragraph they're saying "the mean racist white postal workers routinely withheld draft papers for black people so they would be arrested as draft dogers and sent right to war" and then "the mean racist whites wouldn't let black regiments fight in combat" So what the fuck is it? It's racist to send them to war? Racist not to? Fucking BLM faggots don't know what the fuck they want.

if an old relative of yours would have died in that war and would have been buried in a mass grave, wouldn't you be relieved that people eventually find him.

These archeologists almost discovered all their names thanks to their nameplates, it is most likely that these poor guys will be buried in a german cemetery in France, but some german families could get the body back so he can get a proper burial in his country.

Because there are still relatives of a missing soldier who want to know what happened and where, bringing relief to them is worth "scratching some bones"
I would not do that job too though

This photograph doesn't strike me nearly as much as the Germans with gas masks. The french, as well, in this thread, seem really unenthusiastic and there's a certain banality amidst the timid disorganization of those two countries even when considering the poise of the brits in comparison. In other words (appreciative of the photo) this group just resounds so little intensity.

Calm the fuck down, your panties are as twisted as the radicals, and you're clearly misreading everything they're saying.

Blacks served on the front with the French - they even served on the front in the 1871 war. All Quiet on The Western Front even had the protagonist say how easy it was to shoot them because they lit up cigs at night.

Blacks fought with the Germans and against them with the Belgians and British in Africa. I don't know about black british troops on the western front - the Brits did however send Indians and Sikhs there, some of whom may had been the darkest Dravidian types, but not black per se.

But in America, the blacks were drafted then sent off to support duties. Cooking, cleaning, the like, though a few of them did see combat on the front in their own segregated units.Bush Senior even gave a survivor a medal for it back in the late 80s.

from last thread. This is the Olympic, Titanic's sister ship. She was nicknamed 'Old Reliable' due to always completing her wartime assignments on time. She (along with many other ships) was painted in dazzle camouflage to disorient 'U'-Subs and prevent her from being torpedoed. Back in the day, in order to get additional funding for construction from the Royal Admiralty, ship lines would build the ship to wartime standards so that in case of war, these ships would get drafted for troop transport or hospital ships. Titanic and Olympic and their third sister, Britannic were built to those standards. Brittanic served as a hospital ship but struck a mine a sunk during the war.

I think the gov't probably. I'm pretty sure parts of battlefields like this are still closed to the public for a couple hundred years due to the dangers of undetonated shells and mines and the like. I could be wrong on that, though. I heard it in passing during Dan Carlin's WWI podcast series.

>>2836062
Since there's a well used path in the foreground I'd guess it isn't closed to the public. You probably have to stay on the path, though.

Are people really this ignorant?

>>2858618
Instead of making stupid comments, how about giving your take on it. Otherwise you're post is what's truly ignorant.

>>2858627
The truly ignorant thing is to perpetuate ignorance by using technical terms without understanding their meaning. Do you know what a crankshaft is? If not don't use the term to explain a phenomenon.

>>2858627
I don't think that you know how contractions work or what "ignorant" means, anon.

>>2858640
>>2858671
I'm not the one who said they don't have crankshafts and yes I made a grammar mistake. Your post is still the shit post of this thread. Educate instead of putting people down.

Having an avid fascination for WWI, this is one of the best threads I've come across. Thank you.

>>2820466
You've obviously never been to war. Please discard your bullshit assumptions. Great war soldiers lived and died by their supply trains, and the muddied fields at Ypres were not allowing for 'another [...] hitched in an hour' when this is happening to begin with....

Yeah, I watched "37 Days", I know this is true
Except for the "again" part.
And a little the "Germany" part. The Kaiser wanted AUSTRIA to be great again.
Moltke wanted Germany to dominate Europe and for those pesky Russians and French to just stay out

Amazing pictures
