More Powerful And Memorable Photos Of World War 1 From 100 Years Ago. You Should Totally See This.
There are things we should never forget even after a thousand years.
The First World War was so different from the World War II, though they were equally harrowing and terrible as wars are. But in WW1, soldiers were still wearing fancy uniforms that more suitable for parade rather than real combat, and many countries were still using outdated single-shot rifles. That was a time when technologies didn’t affect the way we fight.
