I’m so pleased this is on RU-vid, I so wanted to attend Andy’s talk at Cobham last night but it was just too far to travel. Excellent post, many thanks to you and of course Andy.

In one battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, the CO, Lord Howard de Walden, commissioned and paid for the issue of short, leaf-shaped Welsh swords, similar to the type used by Welsh archers during the Hundred Years War. I think they are popular with collectors of WW1 weapons, and rarely for sale.

The Vickers machinegun has a personality of its own. It's a beautiful weapon,. The design is spotless, Of course its effect is horrible. But the thing itself is beautful. Yeah, I know I'm weird and been told so many times before...:)

Thank You very Informative One Question the canadians did not use trench knifes, daggers or Nails

@canadianvalour Месяц назад

Yes, the Canadians also used those items, as well as other homemade melee weapons (e.g., spiked clubs, brass knuckles with spikes, etc., . . . nasty stuff).

the US Army brought pump 12 gauge shotguns into the trenches. the Germans called it a barbaric weapon & said they would begin executing US POWs unless the shotgun was stopped. the US ambassador in Switzerland wrote a letter to the German ambassador stating "please don't talk of barbaric weapons, like your poison gas & flamethrowers... and we have many more German POWs if you want to get ugly" the issue was dropped right away

Very interesting! Thank you

Unusual for Andy, he's made a mistake! You DO NOT fire a rifle grenade from hip or shoulder. Well only once. The recoil from the Ballisite blank cartridge would cause a lot of harm. rifles eevn had to have strengthening put around the fore stock and barrel.

"4 liter of water" or "4 liter of pee and you drink the water on the battle field

@thodan467 2 месяца назад

tea water?

@hankhill3417 Год назад

The machine gun was often filled with urine, brandy and wine . Whatever was available

0:25 this is a ww2 British CQB/short range shooting style. Wouldn’t have been used by ww1 British Tommies

@canadianvalour Год назад

We can't speak for British soldiers but Canadian soldiers (CEF - Canadian Expeditionary Force) used Number III Mark I beginning in 1916. This page (canadaatwarblog.wordpress.com/2015/04/21/the-lee-enfield-smle-mk-iii-rifle-used-by-canadians-during-the-first-world-war/) has a detailed history of the SMLE from a Canadian perspective.

@@canadianvalour really don’t mean to be rude, it wasn’t a question it was a statement about the reloading style. The one shown is not period accurate. It was good for showing the rate of fire for the mad minute, but the technique used is a ww2 reload.
