WW1 Soldiers: Rare Images:Part 1

We are less familiar with WW1 then we are with WW2. One of the reasons is that technology was less developed then, hence its chronicling was less. Fewer photographs, film reels etc. But the Great War was no less significant and riveting. Below are some pictures that show the different armies involved. Each image is pregnant with lessons; they tell the history of those times well.
