ubereglu Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hiya, I've looked through google and I can't find any useful information to do with the weapons of World War 1 at all. Please can you help me, either by writing down anything you know about it or finding some websites, as I'm completely stuck. I have to do a poster, so I don't need too much info really.

AnnieP Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Not my area of expertise I'm afraid. Didn't it mainly consist of rifles, grenades and cannon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Have a look here, Liz. That looks to be a very interesting site Ooh, just clicked on the link - they have a tank like that in the Lincolnshire Life Museum in Lincoln - in fact I think it was invented somewhere in Lincolnshire.....(the museum is one of my OH's all time favourite places to visit ).

Chicken Licken Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Tanks... Through the mud and the blood to the green fields beyond!! Oh yes - and mustard gas and machine guns. It was the death knell to cavalry as previously known and also taught the generals that attrition warfare does not work (until of course WW2 and subsequent wars!!).
