30th and 31st BC Horse - The 30th BC Horse was initially under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel C.L. Bott, a veteran of the South African War. The regiment, with headquarters in Vernon, consisted of “A” Squadron from Lumby and Coldstream, “B” Squadron from Vernon, “C” Squadron from Armstrong and Enderby, and “D” squadron out of Kelowna. At the outbreak of war in 1914, the 30th BC Horse was mobilized and brought up to strength. (The 31st BC Horse was headquartered in Merritt.) Orders were received in November that the 30th BCH would amalgamate with an independent Squadron of Horse at Willows Camp in Victoria, BC, to form an overseas unit, the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles. The 2nd CMR Regiment won ten battle honours. Two members of the regiment, Captain John MacGregor and Major George Randolph Pearkes, won the Victoria Cross. A third VC, Gordon Flowerdew, started with the BC Horse but was serving with Lord Strathcona’s Horse when he was posthumously awarded the medal.

Photo from a batch of Landwehr Infanterie Regiment Nr. 124 reported to me by Juju1418. As often, the seller obviously did not know the place.
The Château d'Hartmannswiller, located not far from the church and the fortified cemetery, was built from 1322 to 1718. Luckily during the First World War, it remained intact when the French bombardments had partially razed the village.

Le Château d'Hartmannswiller, situé non loin de l'église et du cimetière fortifié, a été construit de 1322 à 1718. Par chance durant le premier conflit mondial, il est resté intact alors que les bombardements français avaient partiellement rasés le village.

The universal correspondences in nature and the interrelation of all things, imply that the most casual and trivial events have a connection with other events, so that the one can be interpreted by means of the other.

A poem by Charles Baudelaire
Nature is a temple in which living pillars
Sometimes give voice to confused words;
Man passes there through forests of symbols
Which look at him with understanding eyes.
Like prolonged echoes mingling in the distance
In a deep and tenebrous unity,
Vast as the dark of night and as the light of day,
Perfumes, sounds, and colors correspond.
There are perfumes as cool as the flesh of children,
Sweet as oboes, green as meadows
And others are corrupt, and rich, triumphant,
With power to expand into infinity,
Like amber and incense, musk, benzoin,
That sing the ecstasy of the soul and senses.
i am sooo behind, but i will catch up soon!! who doesn't love snail mail, hmmm? happy slider sunday!!!!

I love calendars and I always try to find the ones that have beautiful illustrations. This one depicts some statistics for Aquarius.
Self-portrait under the Milky Way from Figure 8 Island.
We were looking for ghost crabs after dark when my daughter pointed out the Milky Way above. I decided to capture it the next night, but since there wasn't much foreground, I went for a self-portrait. The light from Wrightsville Beach was leaking in from the right, and wispy clouds were scattered through the sky.
This is a single exposure with the Fuji X-T1, 16mm at 2.0, ISO 1250, 20 seconds, and a bit of patience.

About the Finland Steamship Company Agency
"The Finland Steamship Company Agency is a New York corporation and acts as agent in this country for the Finland Steamship Company. Neither company operates steamships from a foreign port to the United States. It is questioned whether the Finland Steamship Company Agency has the power to transmit moneys from the United States to Finland under the provisions of section 22 of the General Corporation Law (as amended in 1911) which provides as follows: . . ."
From: Weekly Reports and Index Containing Decisions, Opinions and Rulings for New York State Departments, Commissions and Courts
Volume 1, Part 2 pp 2526-27
1917
The court held that the Finland Steamship Company Agency did not have the power to transmit moneys from the United States to Finland under the provisions of section 22 of the General Corporation Law (as amended in 1911) because it was not "maintaining a transatlanic line of steamships."

Cavalrymen and infantrymen from a variety of different formations pose with a camouflaged Maschinengewehr 08, giving rise to the suspicion that they're attendees at a machine gun course circa 1917 - 18.
No correspondence. One of a set of three images.
Four columns of Maschinengewehrschützen wait behind a wagon carrying a pair of MG08s sometime around mid-1918. Earlier models of this MG-carrier wagon could only carry a single MG08 however one advantage of that design was that the weapon could be fired whilst still mounted on the wagon. With the advent of the second MG, the wagon was relegated to a transport only role.
One of a set of letters found in the former Cronk family home in Deseronto, Ontario.
This is a draft letter, probably from Mrs Sarah Jane Cronk (née Aull, 1850-1929) to her brother, William. Sarah was married to Reuben Matthew Cronk, who was a butcher in Deseronto for most of his life and also the Chief of Police in the early 1880s. Her son Albert, mentioned in the letter, was born in 1877.
"Mill Point feb 1881
