In the Corps today, many of these processes are the same. Simple instructions for order help keep men alive. Logistics wins wars.

Pretty similar to when I was in the army in the early 2000s.

They really don’t look all that different these days. I love being able to get out of my lease with 98% of the text blacked out.

Why does #3 say replica, is it because... It's a replica?

As I was reading the documents the same thought went through my mind how it is still very similar to the corps now-a-days

This looks like a Cunning Plan...

Digitize this for posterity! There are probably a few archives out there that would love have this in their digital collection :)

I have a book similar to this for American soldiers in Japan in WWII. I'll have to find it and when I do, I'll post about it!

I don't think it really needs stating that you need to remove the bayonet before sleeping with the rifle.

The Rum section is awesome.

I have my grandpa’s Navy SeaBee’s engineer book from ‘47. Shows every vehicle from truck to farm equipment and their dimensions/powertrain

Per Robert Citino, the Americans deployed in force only in the last months of the war. 25,000 of them died each month that summer and fall.

I just went back and reread the actual document title vs the post title, and you are correct. I was never “in his Majesty’s service”.

Unfortunately there werd no landmines Being used in ww1
SecretAgentSuperBooger
Improvised land mines in the form of buried artillery shells were used in WWI, particularly by the Germans against French and British tanks
SecretAgentSuperBooger
Later the Germans developed and mass-produced the Flachmine 17: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flachmine_17
NoNiggity
You are right, but i meant not on a huge manufacturing scale. Like we zee nowadays
MrFondilMabols
That is some of the funniest and heart rending writing. Really showed what an enormous shit show this war was.
jinbee
Let me recommend you Spike Milligan's WW2 diaries - they are as funny and as sad and as well written but they are also mostly true.
SecretAgentSuperBooger
You got that right. Rowan Atkinson's best work too, IMO.
MrFondilMabols
Agreed.

World War 1 was an excellent method of converting much of the best of a young generation into fertilizer.
Owlberightback
Honest question, were a large portion of bodies not recovered?
TastyBrainMeats
They wind up buried anyway, mostly.

Rather a large amount https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_in_action#World_War_I
