27.4.16 This evening to the trenches for 8 days on the front line in our old sector: Tourbe. The walk to our overnight rest was long, so it was painful for everyone because it was very hot, we left at 1 am and arrived at 7 am, all of us exhausted, so I slept well, on a bench

A week ago I was standing here, trying to capture its scale Douaumont ridge is hard to describe its imposing scale of loss and sadness, with its artillery shell tower or the hilt of a sword thrust into the ground What it is, is a place where ordinary men, did the extraordinary

Man behind the Letters 🧵 Jules André Destrigneville My Gt Grandfather, was called up at 26, in August 1915 and his first experience of war was in Champagne, at Auberive in October 1915. His war would take him to Massiges, Verdun, Chemin des Dames & more. Below his story 👇

22.3.16 "We are at rest, handover went well, but nothing in this rest village (Neuville), wine costs 30 cents now. I was going for an internship as a trench cleaner, that has changed, I am no longer going there, I am learning how to use a new machine gun (Chauchat @TaubHistory)"

#OnThisDay in ’96 Hill won the #AusGP but his Williams team-mate Villeneuve nearly won instead, which would have been historic: an #F1 GP win on his debut, achieved only once before (by Baghetti, Reims, ’61). Dear Twitter mistake police: please don’t @ me about Farina or Parsons.

5.3.16 I have just had my photo 📸taken in front of our shelter with some friends. I think I will have them during the rest period, if they are successful. Nothing new, the battle continues at Verdun because we can hear a continuous rumbling. What a massacre this battle is

This angle does it SO much more justice than the Schumacher onboard from the live broadcast. You get a much better sense of how both cars were dancing around through the whole corner - phenomenal 😮‍💨
