It is hard to believe those explosives are still active after a hundred years.

I have read that this type even happens just about every year maybe including WWII munitions.

I well remember the centennial of the American Civil War in the early 1960s, but it is hard to wrap my mind around WW1 being a century ago. That is when my parents were born!

Winner should make the loser go pick them all up after the war is over.

The Bolshevik Revolution is still killing people to this day and it started BEFORE WW-I

I am curious if there is some sort of “reverse tilt shift” photography technique... it must not exist as I envision it as every model train picture in publications like Model Railroader would look nearly completely realistic.

I believe it. We're still paying for the Civil War.

Had a great-uncle who served during WWI in the 38th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF). He died of his wounds on September 10, 1918 and is buried in Terlincthun British Cemetery in France. He was 25 years of age.

If you’re interested in WW1 and in KCMO go to the museum here. It’s amazing. World class.
