During the First World War, the army recognized the value of sports in maintaining morale and fitness among soldiers and often held athletic meets for troops rotating out. This colourful program advertises one such meet that was held in Seaford, Sussex in August 1917. #WW1

This Royal Air Force poster from the First World War illustrates the best method of looping to minimize excessive or dangerous strains on the aircraft. Pilots engaged in this difficult aerial tactic in order to loop behind an enemy plane on their tail. #WW1 #FirstWorldWar

Today is #VimyRidgeDay. The Battle of Vimy Ridge is recognized by many as a defining event for Canada. During this First World War battle, all four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together for the first time and delivered victory. #MilitaryHistory #CanadianHistory
