Which was reportedly gassed at least two dozen times during #WorldWarOne
After a first poison gas attack, panic ensued as the owner attempted to play it and gas began to exit the instrument
The owner learned he had to work the bellows while his mask was still on to get rid of any gas that had settled in the unit

Episode 4: Mud and War
A Meditation on Mud by Rebecca Stott
Episode 4 of 5Award-winning writer Rebecca Stott likes to unearth the overlooked and the forgotten.
While taking a long walk in Sussex to mark the first anniversary of her mother’s death, Rebecca’s focus shifts to the mud all around her. Noticing it for the first time in detail, she sets off on a journey to discover its hidden depths and meanings. She finds herself peeling back layers of literature, culture, science and geology; she discovers the rich literary history of marsh monsters, dips her toes into Darwin’s mud experiments, treads in the footsteps of soldiers in the trenches during World War One and finds out how mud cores extracted from the seabed can shed light on the planet’s past and future.
In Episode 4, Rebecca traces her own tragic family history: two newly discovered letters reveal that two of her family members lost their lives on mud-drenched battlefields, one in Mesopotamia and the other in France.

A postcard from 1914 that Jean writes to his wife before being sent to the front.
Also, a great picture of a great city.

Would you have responded the way they did? 😧
One of the reasons I love watching history documentaries is, you always learn little nuggets that you otherwise would’ve missed while reading a quick overview on a random website. This documentary, "The Harlem Hellfighters", is no different.

The Armstrong Whitworth F.K.10 was a British First World War quadruplane fighter. Testing proved that the additional wings produced too much drag. Of the 50 ordered, only 8 were built. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/armstrong-whitworth-fk-10/ #ArmstrongWhitworthFK10 #aviation #FirstWorldWar #quadraplane #RFC #RNAS #RoyalFlyingCorps #RoyalNavalAirService #WorldWarOne
