Published by Hatfield & Hine, Braintree. Undated. c1905. Scanning a batch of old photos, postcards and cards. Scanned Tuesday, 1st July 2014, Essex.
The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Phot-Express. The card was printed by Baudinière of Nanterre.
The photograph would have been taken very soon after a bombardment, because rubble from collapsed buildings was always rapidly cleared from roads and pavements.
Visé Paris No. 399
The card bears the imprimatur 'Visé Paris' followed by a unique reference number. This means that the image was inspected and deemed by the military authorities in the French capital not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' indicates that the card was published during or soon after the Great War.
Abba Eban
"History teaches us that men and
nations behave wisely when they
have exhausted all other alternatives".
This was said during a speech in London UK on 16th. December 1970 by Abba Eban (1915-2002), an Israeli diplomat and writer.
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.
With an average length of two feet, that number of shells if laid end to end would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres). That's over two and a half times round the Earth. 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!'
Ypres
Ypres is a Belgian municipality in the province of West Flanders. Though the Dutch Leper is the official name, the city's French name Ypres is most commonly used in English.
During the First World War, Ypres (or 'Wipers' as it was commonly known by the British troops) was the centre of the Battles of Ypres between German and Allied forces.
The famous Cloth Hall was built in the 13th century. At this time cats, then the symbol of the devil and witchcraft, were thrown from the Cloth Hall in the belief that this would get rid of demons. Today, this act is commemorated with a triennial Cat Parade through the town.
-- Ypres in the Great War
Ypres occupied a strategic position because it stood in the path of Germany's planned sweep across the rest of Belgium and into France from the north (the Schlieffen Plan).
The neutrality of Belgium, established by the First Treaty of London, was guaranteed by Britain; Germany's invasion of Belgium brought the British Empire into the war. The German army surrounded the city on three sides, bombarding it throughout much of the war. To counterattack, British, French, and allied forces made costly advances from the Ypres Salient into the German lines on the surrounding hills.
-- The First Battle of Ypres
In the First Battle of Ypres (19th. October to 22nd. November 1914), the Allies captured the town from the Germans. The Germans had used tear gas at the Battle of Bolimov on the 3rd. January 1915.
-- The Second Battle of Ypres
The Germans' use of poison gas for the first time on the 22nd. April 1915 marked the beginning of the Second Battle of Ypres, which continued until the 25th. May 1915.
They captured high ground east of the town. The first gas attack used chlorine. Mustard gas, also called Yperite from the name of the town, was also used for the first time near Ypres, in the autumn of 1917.
Vera Brittain was an English Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse, writer, feminist and pacifist who made the following observation in her 1933 memoir, 'Testament of Youth':
“I wish those people who talk about going
on with this war whatever it costs could see
the soldiers suffering from mustard gas
poisoning.
Great mustard-coloured blisters, blind eyes,
all sticky and stuck together, always fighting
for breath, with voices a mere whisper, saying
that their throats are closing, and they know
they will choke.”
-- The Third Battle of Ypres
Of the battles, the largest, best-known, and most costly in human suffering was the Third Battle of Ypres (31st. July to 6th. November 1917, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele), in which the British, Canadian, ANZAC, and French forces recaptured the Passchendaele Ridge east of the city at a terrible cost of lives.
After months of fighting, this battle resulted in nearly half a million casualties to all sides, and only a few miles of ground won by Allied forces. During the course of the battle Ypres was all but obliterated by artillery fire.
-- Lieutenant-Colonel Beckles Willson
In 1920 Lieutenant-Colonel Beckles Willson wrote:
'There is not a single half-acre in Ypres
that is not sacred.
There is not a single stone which has not
sheltered scores of loyal young hearts,
whose one impulse and desire was to fight
and, if need be, to die for England.
Their blood has drenched its cloisters and
its cellars, but if never a drop had been spilt,
if never a life had been lost in defence of
Ypres, still would Ypres have been hallowed,
if only for the hopes and the courage it has
inspired and the scenes of valour and sacrifice
it has witnessed'.
-- Ypres Today
After the Great War the town was extensively rebuilt using money paid by Germany in reparations, with the main square, including the Cloth Hall and town hall, being rebuilt as close to the original designs as possible (the rest of the rebuilt town is more modern in appearance).
The Cloth Hall today is home to the 'In Flanders Fields Museum', dedicated to Ypres's role in the First World War and named after the 'Poppy' poem by John McCrae.
Ypres these days has the title of 'City of Peace' and maintains a close friendship with another town on which war had a profound impact: Hiroshima. Both towns witnessed warfare at its worst: Ypres was one of the first places where chemical warfare was employed, while Hiroshima suffered the debut of nuclear warfare.
Ypres hosts the international campaign secretariat of Mayors for Peace, an international Mayoral organisation mobilising cities and citizens worldwide to abolish and eliminate nuclear weapons by the year 2020. It didn't happen.

The Struts arrivano finalmente in Italia con un’unica data ai Magazzini Generali di Milano il 2 marzo 2019.
The Struts sono un gruppo rock inglese formato da Luke Spiller (vocals), Adam Slack (chitarra), Jed Elliott (basso) e Gethin Davies (batteria).
In soli pochi anni, The Struts sono stati felicemente accolti dalle più grandi icone della music rock-and-roll mondiale. Oltre ad essere stati opening act di gruppi quali Rolling Stones, The Who e Guns ‘N’ Roses, the Struts sono stati scelti da Mötley Crüe come supporter dei loro ultimi concerti.
Dave Grohl li ha definiti addirittura ‘la miglior band di apertura’ che i Foo Fighters abbiano mai avuto.
Dopo aver rilasciato il loro album di debutto nel 2016 intitolato Everybody Wants, il gruppo è pronto a pubblicare il disco di prossima uscita Young&Dangerous, che li consolida come una delle migliori rock band contemporanee.
Con la realizzazione di questo progetto, The Struts concretizzano un’altra delle loro ambizioni più alte come band: “una delle cose che desideriamo fare con la nostra musica è ispirare le nuove generazioni ad imbracciare nuovamente una chitarra” – racconta Spiller -“viviamo in un’epoca in cui l’hip-hop e la musica dance predominano ed è una bella cosa, ma desideriamo ricordare a tutti che esiste anche altro. Questo album è il nostro modo di dire che se ti senti spesso fuori posto, puoi sempre tirar fuori una chitarra elettrica e trovare il modo di usarla”.
Luke Spiller - Lead Vocals
Addo Slack - Guitar and Vocals
Jed Elliott - Bass and Vocals
Gethin Davies - Drums

The Jews for Urban Justice Newsletter was published monthly by the organization.
The May 1969 issue contains a calendar of events, a recounting of the Freedom Seder, a report on a gathering of left-wing Jewish groups, and a list of board members, among other reports
From Wikipedia:
“Jews for Urban Justice (JUJ) was a Jewish-American left-wing activist organization based in Washington, D.C., and its suburbs. The organization was founded to oppose anti-black racism within the predominantly white Jewish community of Washington, D.C.
“Jews for Urban Justice was created by young Jewish intellectuals in the Summer of 1966 to oppose anti-black racism from white Jewish landlords and businesspeople, which they felt fueled antisemitism in the African-American community. Alleging that white Jews and predominantly white Jewish institutions were "part of the power structure" and that white Jews "gyp and rob" African-Americans in the ghetto, JUJ urged rabbis and other Jewish community leaders to address the problems of racism and classism within the Jewish community.
“Jews for Justice fought for equal access to housing for African-Americans at a time when white Jewish land developers in the DC metropolitan area used racially restrictive covenants that excluded African-Americans and other people of color from buying homes in white Jewish neighborhoods.
“JUJ was involved in Martin Luther King Jr.'s Poor People's Campaign, the Mothers Day Welfare Rights March, and the Delano grape strike. In solidarity with the United Farm Workers strike, JUJ urged synagogues and rabbis in the DC area to forgo using California grapes in their sukkahs. JUJ succeeded in convincing Joseph Danzansky to stop carrying California grapes at Giant Food grocery store locations.
“JUJ helped organize the Freedom Seder on the third night of Pesach, April 4, 1969, the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Arthur Waskow, a JUJ member and Jewish Renewal rabbi, was instrumental in creating the Freedom Seder. Waskow created a new Haggadah for the seder, saying "I wove the story of the liberation of ancient Hebrews from Pharaoh with the liberation struggles of black America, of the Vietnamese people, passages from Dr. King, from Gandhi." 800 people gathered for the Freedom Seder at the Lincoln Temple, an historically black Protestant church in Washington, D.C., bringing together blacks, whites, Christians, and Jews. The seder was attended by prominent black civil rights leaders, including Reverend Channing E. Phillips and Topper Carew.
“In 1970, JUJ released a manifesto titled "The Oppression and Liberation of the Jewish People in America", outlining their ideology as an anti-racist, anti-war, Jewish socialist organization that was critical of the mainstream Jewish establishment. The manifesto calls for white Jewish solidarity with African-American, Native American, Chicano, Italian-American, and Appalachian communities. The JUJ manifesto is critical of Israeli policy towards Palestinians and supports Palestinian self-determination, but is not explicitly anti-Zionist. JUJ's manifesto critiqued conflating Zionism with Jewishness and objected to antisemitic expressions of anti-Zionism.
“We call upon the Jewish people to free itself by joining in alliance with others to abolish the Amerikan empire that now oppresses the Jewish people and many other peoples at home and much of the human race outside. We call upon the Jewish people to join the task of creating a democratic, communitarian, libertarian, and socialist society in America. We believe that a fully socialist society will be one in which many self-governing communities are able to end the alienations of mind and body, of politics from economics, of spirit from work, of individual from collective, and thus to create the new, unalienated person; that these communities will differ freely from each other in the shapes they give to the wholeness they make out of their previously alienated lives; and that among these communities a liberated Jewish people will joyfully take its place.”
