The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Lévy Fils et Cie of Paris.
German gunners used to target churches and cathedrals in France and Belgium, partly out of boredom, partly to practise their skills, but mainly because the height of such ecclesiastical buildings made them ideal observation posts for the Allies.
These buildings, along with châteaux and other large secular edifices, were literally sitting targets - they couldn't be moved or made smaller or camouflaged, hence the appalling damage that many of these beautiful buildings sustained from enemy artillery - they just had to sit there and take it.
Visé Paris no. 656
The card would have been published during or soon after the end of the Great War, because the reference to 'Visé Paris no. 656' indicates that the military authorities in the French capital had deemed that the image did not present a security risk.
Soissons
Soissons is one of the oldest towns in Northern France. During most of the Great War the town was behind the Franco-British lines, and was heavily bombarded before being captured by the Germans in May 1918.
tamu.edu have posted a review of a book called "Soissons, 1918" by D.V. Johnson II and R.L. Hillman Jr.
In the review they state:
"It is the last 5% of possible exertion that often wins the battle". Brigadier Gen. Hanson Ely's statement best exemplifies the efforts of his troops as part of the allied contingent at the Battle of Soissons, July 18-22, 1918.
At a cost of more than 12,000 soldiers and marines dead, wounded and missing, American troops struck the Germans with such force that they lost the initiative for the remainder of the war.
'Soissons, 1918' provides a detailed account of this pivotal battle in which partly trained, inexperienced American soldiers and marines turned the tide of war.
Despite strange French command methods, alien equipment (such as masses of tanks), immature American staff work, and difficulties in communicating with advancing troops, American enthusiasm and willingness to 'finish the job' briefly shattered German defences, caused panic, and ultimately unhinged the Germans' carefully prepared strategic plans".
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
If the 170m rounds were on average two feet long, and if they were laid end to end, they would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres); the line would go round the equator over two and a half times. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'
These strip maps were published by the Automobile Club of Southern California. They measured 10 1/2 inches by 4 inches, and were printed on heavy stock paper. I don't have an exact date on when they were published, but they are Circa 1930.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Cie Alsacienne des Arts Photomécaniques of Strasbourg.
The Hôtel des Anglais
The excellent website scarletfinders.co.uk tells us that in the first winter of the Great War, the Duchess of Westminster's Hospital, afterwards No. 1 Red Cross, was opened at the Casino in Le Touquet.
A pressing need arose for the housing of wives and close relatives who were allowed to visit wounded men at the hospital. Accordingly the British Red Cross Society opened the Hôtel des Anglais in October 1915 as a Red Cross hostel.
The hostel was well situated, being within 3 minutes' walk of the hospital. It had two wings connected by long dining rooms, with a shady garden on the edge of the Forest of Le Touquet.
The Hôtel des Anglais was the first hostel to receive relatives, and it acted as a pioneer for further hostels. It remained open for three years until August 1918.
The guests, who were not required to pay for their stay, were very diverse - wealthy people, village shopkeepers, labourers and their wives, suffered together, feared together, hoped together, and helped each other.
None needed help more than the wives and mothers and fathers racked by fear and anxiety, prolonged in many cases from week to week, and sometimes for months.
For much more fascinating information about the hotel's rôle in the Great War, please refer to scarletfinders.co.uk
Le Touquet
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, commonly referred to as Le Touquet, is a commune near Etaples, in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It has a population of 5,355 but welcomes up to 250,000 people during the summer.
Le Touquet has a reputation as the most elegant holiday resort of northern France, the playground of rich Parisians (hence its full name), with many luxury hotels.
Since the mid-1990's, Le Touquet’s villas have become extremely fashionable amongst architecture lovers throughout Europe who have rediscovered the 'folie' of seaside architecture of both the Roaring Twenties and the 1930's.
Town Trails
Today the town tourist office offers organised trails to see outstanding examples of 19th and 20th century domestic architecture, which are now preserved and protected.
Le Touquet's Early Years
In the 19th. century it was an area of wild sand dunes and forest - part of a hunting estate.
In 1902 Allen Stoneham and John Whitley bought the land through their company Le Touquet Syndicate Ltd., and were instrumental in developing the town into a golf and gambling resort.
It became known as “Paris by the Sea”, and strict building regulations encouraged the most talented architects to create imaginative and innovative developments. The most famous local architect is Louis Quetelart.
The Great War
During most of World War I, Le Touquet was the home of the Duchess of Westminster's (No 1 British Red Cross Society) Hospital for wounded British troops.
The No. 2 Canadian Stationary Hospital had the distinction of being the first Canadian Unit to land on French soil. No. 2 Stationary opened at the Hotel du Golf at Le Touquet on November 27, 1914.
All the 142 British Commonwealth war graves in Le Touquet's Communal Cemetery are from the hospitals. In the same cemetery a wooden obelisk was erected by the commune's lifeboatmen in honour of the British.
H. G. Wells
In 1909, H. G. Wells and Amber Reeves fled to Le Touquet in an abortive elopement. The two returned to Britain after a number of weeks, though Amber later gave birth to Wells's daughter, Anna-Jane Blanco White, after the relationship ended.
Noël Coward
In the 1920's, Noël Coward and the 'smart set' from England spent weekends here, and commissioned more outstanding villa designs echoing traditional and ultra-modern domestic styles.
P. G. Wodehouse
P. G. Wodehouse lived in Le Touquet from 1934 to 1939.

It is ironic when you try to escape your destiny and in your escape you encounter it. As old as civilization, mankind has always feared this fate: "Is there such a thing called Destiny?" and if the answer is "yes" do we possess the power to change it. In its simplicity this theme becomes epic. From Sophocles to the Wachowski Brothers the "hero" has always tried to be stronger than his destiny. I tried to mix all these epic ancient questions with a dark texture, typical of noir cinema in the first half of XX century.
But in the end, one critical question remains: Would it have really happened if we didn´t know it?

Gli America tornano in Italia per un’imperdibile data il 15 ottobre presso il Teatro Dal Verme di Milano.
Una di quelle notizie che mobilitano intere generazioni di appassionati, a ogni latitudine e longitudine: uno dei gruppi che ha fatto la storia di un genere, che ha sancito usi e costumi di una generazione, influenzando inevitabilmente le altre a seguire.
"A horse with no name", "Ventura highway", "I need you", "Tin man", "Don't cross the river", "You can do magic", "Lonely People" e "Sister Golden Hair", alcune delle loro hit mondiali riconoscibili al primo accordo, che, oggi come allora, sono inevitabilmente nelle playlist di qualsiasi radio in giro per l'etere dell'universo. Un mix di folk e rock inconfondibile, capace di accendere l'entusiasmo di coloro che hanno "vissuto" gli America in quegli anni e in chi li scopre ogni volta che si avvicina al loro repertorio "west coast", unico per quantità e qualità, che sconfina in tanti generi musicali. Solo "Ventura highway" ha uno degli intro più campionati nella storia della musica più recente...
Da sempre, gli America sono Gerry Beckley e Dewey Bunnell (il terzo membro, Dan Peek, è scomparso anni fa), compagni di liceo nella Londra di fine anni '60, capaci di scrivere alcune delle pagine più armoniose del rock e di trovarsi, oltre quaranta anni dopo, a fare musica insieme, girando il mondo ed entusiasmando il pubblico con il loro suono senza tempo.
Vincitori di Grammy (nel 1972 come "Migliore Nuovo Artista"!) e di innumerevoli dischi d'oro e di platino, prodotti da Geoff Emerick, George Martin (Beatles), gli America debuttano con "A horse with no name" alla fine del 1971, che arriva al primo posto in USA e in mezzo mondo. Segue "I need you", un altro grande successo. “Ventura highway" è il primo singolo realizzato con la collaborazione di Neil Young, numero uno nel dicembre 1972. Da lì una serie di dischi memorabili e di tour mondiali.
Gli America sono un gruppo capace di superare i confini con la sua musica edificante e un messaggio positivo. Abbracciando un arcobaleno di culture divergenti, il pubblico americano continua a crescere, comprendendo una fedele legione di fan di prima, seconda e terza generazione, tutti testimoni del duraturo appeal del gruppo.
"Penso che gli ingredienti del sound degli America siano i fondamentali di base che si traducono a livello internazionale", spiega Beckley. "Gli italiani sono grandi fan della musica da ballo, ma amano anche una ballata, sono romantici nel cuore, è la stessa cosa in Estremo Oriente, molte volte in questi paesi, vediamo gente che canta e loro non sanno davvero cosa significano le parole, la musica è veramente la lingua internazionale.”
Gerry Beckley – lead and backing vocals, keyboards, guitars, bass, harmonica
Dewey Bunnell – lead and backing vocals, guitars, percussion
Current touring musicians
Richard Campbell – bass, vocals

Il rocker italiano in concerto con una tripla data a San Siro
Vasco stesso, la prima volta, aveva anticipato il suo grande ritorno con un post sulla sua pagina ufficiale di Facebook, un post che aveva mandato i tre milioni di fans iscritti al social network in fibrillazione. Il Komandante ripartiva con il suo tour, il Live Kom. Forte del successo del brano L'uomo più semplice, il rocker, neanche a dirlo, ha riempito gli stadi di mezza Italia. Poi si è rinchiuso in sala d'incisione, ha lasciato passare un anno e poi... e poi eh già, io sono ancora qua, direbbe lui. Il Blasco è pronto a ritornare sulla scena live, intenzionato a far rivivere i più grandi successi e i nuovi inediti del tanto atteso Live Kom 014, a partire dal singolo Cambia-Menti. Vasco continua ad andare al massimo.
Vasco Rossi nel suo tour canterà senza il suo storico chitarrista Maurizio Solieri.
Ad annunciarlo è stato il produttore di 'Blasco', Guido Elmi che in un post sul social network, il cui titolo è 'Cambiamenti', spiega: "La decisione di aggiornare la formazione della band che accompagnerà Vasco Rossi nei sette concerti evento dell'estate 2014 è stimolata dalla 'urgenza artistica' di ottenere rinnovati arrangiamenti con sonorità più heavy riff-oriented".
Cambiamenti
La decisione di aggiornare la formazione della band che accompagnerà Vasco Rossi nei sette concerti evento dell’estate 2014 è stimolata dalla “urgenza artistica" di ottenere rinnovati arrangiamenti con sonorità più heavy riff-oriented" La batteria, il basso e la chitarra ritmica dovranno interagire e muoversi come una cosa sola, essere ancora di più le fondamenta su cui costruire musicalmente lo spettacolo.
Nasce da questa volontà di rinnovamento l’esigenza di avere in formazione una sola chitarra solista oltre ad avvalersi di un batterista più in linea con la nuova direzione dello show.
La band:
Per la batteria abbiamo chiesto in prestito a Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society) e agli Evanescence Will Hunt, che porterà on stage il suo set personalizzato con tanto di doppia cassa.
Al basso ci sarà Claudio Golinelli che ha sempre tenuto prestazioni di grande impatto. Dotato di un innato senso del ritmo e di un suono inconfondibile, è una colonna portante della band.
Alla chitarra solista Stef Burns ci farà ancora sognare con i suoi assoli melodici e stilisticamente impeccabili. Dove serve saprà anche potenziare ed incalzare il tessuto ritmico dei brani oltre a produrre arpeggi di grande atmosfera.
Alla chitarra ritmica una nuova entrata: Vince Pastano. Oltre ad avere una cura maniacale del suono e una particolare e aggiornata predisposizione per le divisioni ritmiche, è un ottimo chitarrista acustico.
Ad Alberto Rocchetti sono affidati il pianoforte e le tastiere. Quest’anno si presenterà con un set rinnovato e avrà la possibilità di esibirsi in assoli di orientamento progressive. Frank Nemola è colui che tranquillizza tutti, è un bravo corista, tastierista e un eccellente trombettista.
Clara Moroni è la tessitrice dei cori che adornano le canzoni, oltre a cantare lei stessa con grande intensità.
Sassofonista e flautista di grande qualità, Andrea Innesto completa a meraviglia le parti corali perché dotato di un tipo di voce molto utile ad assecondare quella di Vasco.
one of my published images in a Penguin book..
the book is about real life stories of the street kids here..
i especially like the content of this book.
one of the main reasons why i accepted it..
Glad to share the news that two of my photographs got published in May 2008 edition of Better Photography magazine. This was in 'Your Photos' section. Pretty encouraging as an artist to see in print format in a national magazine. Thanks to BP.
Small glitch observed is, my description about the photograph says that I am using Pentax K100D super. However, below that they have written as Canon 350D. Do ever Pentax get recognition in INDIA? :-))
