This picture tells me that this soldier was a fairly intellegent man. He disguised himself as if he was dead, wheres the rest of the soldiers are out in the open. This picture bottles my mind.

__**Training war dogs to shell fire**__ The use of dogs in the war had positives and negatives to it. I feel that it is cruel to use animals as weapons and endanger their live, but then again they are just animals not humans. It would also be comforting to have a pet at war to guard and protect you but also make you feel more at home.

Many of the men that entered into the war went in because they felt that they had to honor their country. They felt a sense of pride in themeselves, and wanted to do anything to serve their country.

Battles at sea played a major role in the first World War. The british had the strongest navy in the world, along with the United States. If they could win the wars at the sea, many of the allies felt that they could in the war entirely.
 * __British Grand Fleet heading out to sea__**

Very few men had the pressure of leading an army into a World War. Not only did they lead in battle, but they also had to fight themeselves. The pressure would be unbareable.

Living in the trenches caused more deaths in World War I, then actual men being killed in battle. Troops suffered from diseases, and many men were so hungry that they resorted to eating rats living in the trenches.

New weapon technology, such as gas bombs, played another major role in the first World War. These images are very strong and give a sense of how much the war meant to one's country.
 * __Russian gas casualties awaiting burial__**

This was the first war in history that planes were used. They played a major role in the war as much as the war at sea, and on the war grounds. Planes weren't as high-tech then, but they were way ahead of their time at the time being.

The bayonet has been around since the revolutionary war. This is one of the weapons that soldiers were already used to, because its been around for so long. What would be interesting is if they put bayonets onto one of the newer weapons that introduced to the war.
 * __US troops training with bayonets__**

The hand grenades then looked nothing like they do now. I'm sure that they didn't do as much damage back then either. I wonder if they had timers on them like the grandes now where you can just hold in the little handle on the grande.

Machine guns in WW1 needed 3 men to man a mchinegun, whereas today you only need one person. You needed a person to crank the gun which would make it shoot, someone to feed the bullets into the gun, and someone to aim the gun.
 * __American machine gun crew__**

This was the first war that tanks were used in. Thesed tanks seem so big, and if I were a soldier seeing this massive gthing for the first time I would be terrified for my own life. Even with today's tanks I would feel the same way.
 * __French St. Chamond tank__**

The machinegun was one of the many new weapons used in the first world war. They were one of the most effective weapons in the war being able to fire many more bullets then a regular gun and at a faster rate as well.
 * __French machinegunners__**

The zeppelin was used to find the enemy from up in the sky but could also fire bullets with the troops in the crows nest. The zeppelin was used mainly by the germans but every country in the war had one.
 * __German zeppelin__**

It's amazing how birds knew exactly where to go to give the message. They probably never got to their exact destination, because birds aren't smart enough to take orders from someone. You think that troops and armies would realize this.
 * __Carrier pigeon being released from plane__**

Notice the camoflauge on the tank. This was not a new weapon used in the war, but it was a new method that was first used in this war. Though I don't think that even if such a big tank were camoflauged, it could not be seen.
