Love to have the early war French in those red and blue uniforms. Lord, what a spectacle in the attack they must have been with the flags flying, bugles blowing, and the officers leading with their white gloves and swords. -- AlI would like to see the early part of the war done.

I think a mobile pigeon loft would be cool.

Titus, I also prefer early war, especially anything French. Early war Belgium uniforms were very archaic in appearance as well, and would be an interesting subject. -- AlI like early war, but seem to be more for late 1916-1918.

A casualty evacuation center could be interesting. Wouldn't mind some German flamethrower pioneers, ca.1916, either. -- Al
To the tune of 200,000 casualties in the first two weeks.till the Germans gunned them all down.![]()

The massacre of French infantry reached unbelievable levels in August 1914. In just one of many actions on a wide front on 8/22/14, the 3rd Colonial Infantry Division, consisting of 4 infantry regts, 1 artillery regt, and supported by an attached light infantry regt (total of some 14,000 men) attacked 2 German infantry regts and 1 artillery regt at Rossignol. In day long assaults the French suffered some 10,500 total casualties with almost 6,000 KIA. The engaged Germans suffered about 1,300 total casualties, with about 490 KIA. In all, in battles all along the line on 8/22/14, the French had 29,000 KIA. From 8/20/14 thru 8/23/14 (only 4 days) the French Army had 40,000 KIA. These numbers are mind boggling and all but impossible to comprehend. I don't know how the French made it to victory in 1918 after suffering 1,500,000 dead. -- Aljust terrible. I cannot imagine having been caught up in that madness.
